Types were incorrectly determined when slicing SparseDataFrames with
multiple dtypes (such as float and object) into SparseSeries.

import pandas as pd sdf = pd.SparseDataFrame([[1, 2, 'a'], [4, 5, 'b']]) sdf.iloc[[0]] # OK sdf.iloc[0] # ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'a'

doesn't np.find_common_type do this? (or .common_type)?

should create a pandas version of this to isolate (e.g. this won't handle non-numpy types)

@jreback

@sinhrks

as sparse mainly supports float64, adding more tests for mixed dtype is appreciated (maybe in the same file as separate class).

@sstanovnik

Types were incorrectly determined when slicing SparseDataFrames with multiple dtypes (such as float and object). Also enables type inference for SparseArrays by default.

Aug 8, 2016

@sstanovnik

I used numpy's find_common_type instead of that local function, this changed a test (test_block_internals.py), see if that numpy behaviour is desired.

Another (maybe non-minor) change is the default parameter in sparse/array.py, but that didn't seem to really break anything.

I also added some new tests as suggested, but don't feel confident in adding the proposed pandas alternative to the numpy find_common_type - my knowledge of pandas dtypes isn't really great. It would likely be similar to _interleaved_dtype in core/internals.py right?

what I meant was can start off by simply moving this (your version or new one with np.find_common_type to pandas.types.cast (and if we have specific tests move similarly; if not, ideally add some). we can add the pandas specific functionaility later.

@sinhrks

can u also add tests to check normal SparseArray and its dtypes (related to the default change)?

current default (float64) is because it doesn't fully support int and bool, should be solved by #13849.

@sstanovnik

@sstanovnik

@sstanovnik

It turns out this PR works without the default argument change, I was too hasty to change it. Your PR fixes that better, so I reverted the change.

Common type discovery moved to types/cast.py:_find_common_type. I did notice, however, that types/common.py:_lcd_dtypes exists (seems to only work with numpy dtypes, but differently than np.find_common_type), but changing either implementation to the other broke some things, so I left it as it is.

@jreback

yep, need to fix this.

@sstanovnik can you create a new issue for this.

this might fix another bug, can you search for uint64 issues and see?
