Returns True if it is a pandas sparse array, not another type of
    sparse array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arr : array-like
        Array-like to check.

    Returns
    -------
    bool
        Whether or not the array-like is a pandas sparse array.

    Examples
    --------
    Returns `True` if the parameter is a 1-D pandas sparse array.

    >>> from pandas.api.types import is_sparse
    >>> is_sparse(pd.arrays.SparseArray([0, 0, 1, 0]))
    True
    >>> is_sparse(pd.Series(pd.arrays.SparseArray([0, 0, 1, 0])))
    True

    Returns `False` if the parameter is not sparse.

    >>> is_sparse(np.array([0, 0, 1, 0]))
    False
    >>> is_sparse(pd.Series([0, 1, 0, 0]))
    False

    Returns `False` if the parameter is not a pandas sparse array.

    >>> from scipy.sparse import bsr_matrix
    >>> is_sparse(bsr_matrix([0, 1, 0, 0]))
    False

    Returns `False` if the parameter has more than one dimension.
    zsis_sparse is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Check `isinstance(dtype, pd.SparseDtype)` instead.©
