class pandas.SparseDtype(dtype: Union[str, numpy.dtype, pandas.core.dtypes.base.ExtensionDtype] = <class 'numpy.float64'>, fill_value: Any = None) [source]

Dtype for data stored in SparseArray.

This dtype implements the pandas ExtensionDtype interface.

New in version 0.24.0.

Parameters:	dtype : str, ExtensionDtype, numpy.dtype, type, default numpy.float64 The dtype of the underlying array storing the non-fill value values. fill_value : scalar, optional The scalar value not stored in the SparseArray. By default, this depends on dtype. dtype na_value float np.nan int 0 bool False datetime64 pd.NaT timedelta64 pd.NaT The default value may be overridden by specifying a fill_value.
