Can’t drop NAN with dropna in pandas

by

You need to read the documentation (emphasis added):

Return object with labels on given axis omitted

dropna returns a new DataFrame. If you want it to modify the existing DataFrame, all you have to do is read further in the documentation:

inplace : boolean, default False

If True, do operation inplace and return None.

So to modify it in place, do traindataset.dropna(how='any', inplace=True).
