Why is this change needed?

For num_elements == 0, the null count should still be zero even if it interprets the dtype as string/object (so the test is still valid, though it might warn?).

For num_elements > 0, the data should be non-empty and thus be correctly interpreted as a floating type.

Yup, this is the reason for this change.

Same here and below -- I'm not sure if I understand why these helper functions are needed. It seems like the test construction might need subtle changes but I don't think this casting helper function is the right answer. It's not announcing what it is actually doing -- the differences between cudf.Series and _create_cudf_series should be in the name, if this is needed (like _create_cudf_series_float64_default).

Agreed, reverted the change here and passed explicit dtypes. Renamed the helper to _create_cudf_series_float64_default and _create_pandas_series_float64_default. These will be removed in pandas-2.0 upgrade.

Approving -- but let's make sure to remove these testing helper functions early in the pandas 2.0 migration.

Calling `cudf.Index([])` results in `str` dtype `Index`. This PR fixes an issue with a pytorch related pytest by explicitly passing a `float64` dtype.
