This PR fixes a bug where Series.describe() fails on certain
ExtensionArray
dtypes such aspint[kg]
, due to attempting to cast the result toFloat64Dtype
. This is because some of the produced statistics are not castable to float, which raises errors like DimensionalityError.We now avoid forcing a Float64Dtype return dtype when the EA’s scalar values cannot be safely cast. Instead:
If the EA produces outputs with mixed dtypes, the result is returned with
dtype=None
.
