is_sparse(arr) -> 'bool'

Check that the one-dimensional array-like is a pandas sparse array. Returns True if it is a pandas sparse array, not another type of sparse array.

Parameters

arr : array-like

Array-like to check.

Returns

bool

Whether or not the array-like is a pandas sparse array.

Check whether an array-like is a 1-D pandas sparse array.

Examples

Returns :None:None:`True` if the parameter is a 1-D pandas sparse array.

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> is_sparse(pd.arrays.SparseArray([0, 0, 1, 0]))
True
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> is_sparse(pd.Series(pd.arrays.SparseArray([0, 0, 1, 0])))
True

Returns :None:None:`False` if the parameter is not sparse.

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> is_sparse(np.array([0, 0, 1, 0]))
False
This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> is_sparse(pd.Series([0, 1, 0, 0]))
False

Returns :None:None:`False` if the parameter is not a pandas sparse array.

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> from scipy.sparse import bsr_matrix
... is_sparse(bsr_matrix([0, 1, 0, 0])) False

Returns :None:None:`False` if the parameter has more than one dimension.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
