Probably because none of the estimators that want sparse matrices care about the dtype. Mind you, this is documented: "sparse matrices are passed through." (But if necessary, we can change this, or make it even more explicit in the docstring.) -- Lars Buitinck Scientific programmer, ILPS University of Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
