我在处理多个变量时遇到了这个错误，甚至在处理缺失值时也是如此。例如：

le = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()
categorical = list(df.select_dtypes(include=['object']).columns.values)
for cat in categorical:
    print(cat)
    df[cat].fillna('UNK', inplace=True)
    df[cat] = le.fit_transform(df[cat])
#     print(le.classes_)
#     print(le.transform(le.classes_))

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-24-424a0952f9d0> in <module>()
      4     print(cat)
      5     df[cat].fillna('UNK', inplace=True)
----> 6     df[cat] = le.fit_transform(df[cat].fillna('UNK'))
      7 #     print(le.classes_)
      8 #     print(le.transform(le.classes_))

    212         aux = ar[perm]

TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'str'

检查导致错误的变量会导致：

df['CRM do Médico'].isnull().sum()
0

除了nan值之外，还有什么可能导致此错误？
