You have an uppercase 'Confidence'.  Are you using pandas or numpy?  For numpy, 
from Piet's email, you need a lowercase key.  What does 
`print df['Confidence'].shape`
yield?  Because the error looks like you have an array with no size (zero 
dimensions), so perhaps you are still not reading in your file correctly.
