Description
Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# here we have a regular behavior for the dtype np.float64
>>> s = pd.Series([0.0], index=[0], dtype=np.float64)
>>> s.describe()
count 1.0
mean 0.0
std NaN
min 0.0
25% 0.0
50% 0.0
75% 0.0
max 0.0
dtype: float64
# with the dtype Float64, the result is still correct, but there is a strange warning raised
>>> s = pd.Series([0.0], index=[0], dtype='Float64')
>>> s.describe()
C:\Users\alegout\AppData\Local\miniconda3\envs\py3.11\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\_methods.py:265: RuntimeWarning: Degrees of freedom <= 0 for slice
ret = _var(a, axis=axis, dtype=dtype, out=out, ddof=ddof,
C:\Users\alegout\AppData\Local\miniconda3\envs\py3.11\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\_methods.py:257: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in double_scalars
ret = ret.dtype.type(ret / rcount)
count 1.0
mean 0.0
std <NA>
min 0.0
25% 0.0
50% 0.0
75% 0.0
max 0.0
dtype: Float64
Issue Description
computing a describe on a single element Series should work without any working. When the dtype is Float64, there is a RuntimeWarning that is not raised with the dtype np.float64.
Expected Behavior
I expect no warning with the extended dtype
