BUG: Incorrect IntervalIndex.is_overlapping · Issue #49581 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

a = [ 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 ] b = [ 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 ]

^^^^^^^^^^ (overlapping region)

idx_1 = pd.IntervalIndex.from_arrays(a, b) print(idx_1.is_overlapping)

prints True

idx_2 = pd.IntervalIndex.from_arrays(a[1:], b[1:]) print(idx_2.is_overlapping)

prints False (INCORRECT)

idx_3 = pd.IntervalIndex.from_arrays(a[:-1], b[:-1]) print(idx_3.is_overlapping)

prints False (INCORRECT)

Issue Description

IntervalIndex.is_overlapping is returning incorrect values.

Notice how for the full a/b arrays it returns that there are overlapping intervals (they are in the middle), but if you remove the first/last pair ([1:], [-1:]), it returns incorrectly that there are no overlapping intervals.

Expected Behavior

Correct value
