Hey Guys. Im trying to write a script that would calculate endpoints for a medical task. When I run the program, it works all the way until it hits the first for loop of the script. I'm pretty sure there is an error because CategoryID doesnt have a length property. But I also think it should because I'm converting it to a list in the beginning. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

It seems like you forgot the () after tolist method, so it can be parsed as a call to the method, and not the method itself:

CategoryID = dataframe['CategoryID'].tolist()
ReactionTime = dataframe['ReactionTime'].tolist()
CorrectResponse = dataframe['CorrectResponse'].tolist()
