Based on the advice in #4378 (comment), this PR proposes changing a few uses of
.todense()
called on sparse arrays to.toarray()
.This method converts a sparse array to a
np.array
, a better-supported object type thannp.matrix
(the type returned by.todense()
).See https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.sparse.spmatrix.toarray.html.
Notes for Reviewers
There are a few other uses of
.todense()
in the Dask tests, but those will be changed as part of #4378.
