Stop converting to `float64` dtype before qcut call

Open tamargrey opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Due to a Pandas bug that doesn't allow calling pd.qcut on Float64Dtype columns, we had to add a conversion to float64 in statistics_utils._make_categorical_for_mutual_info that should be removed once the bug is fixed.
