Code Sample, a copy-pastable example
import pandas as pd
import scipy as sp
import scipy.sparse
spmatrix = sp.sparse.csr_matrix((2, 2))
spmatrix[0, 0] = 1
df = pd.DataFrame.sparse.from_spmatrix(spmatrix)
# work as expected, cool
df.loc[1]
# 0 0.0
# 1 0.0
# Name: 0, dtype: Sparse[float64, 0.0]
# Indexing by index list. I expect 1,0, 0.0, not cool
df.loc[[1]]
# 0 1
# 1 0.0 0
# whenever indexing an all-zero series, it returns int type.
df.loc[[1]].loc[[1]]
# 0 1
# 1 0 0
# checking the dtype, it has been turned into int64 instead of float64
df.loc[[1]].dtypes
# 0 Sparse[float64, 0]
# 1 Sparse[int64, 0]
# dtype: object
# indexing by bool list also not cool
df.loc[[True, True]]
# 0 1
# 0 1.0 0
# 1 0.0 0
# Slicing is cool
df.loc[0:2]
# 0 1
# 0 1.0 0.0
# 1 0.0 0.0
# If we explicitly specify its dtype, the type still not preserved.
import numpy as np
df.astype(np.float32).dtypes
# 0 Sparse[float32, 0.0]
# 1 Sparse[float32, 0.0]
df.astype(np.float32).loc[[1]].dtypes
# 0 Sparse[float64, 0.0]
# 1 Sparse[float64, 0.0]
Problem description
Index slice an all-zero sparse series by indexer (whether by bool array or index array) results in type int64. It should preserve type.
