Checklist for the pandas documentation sprint (ignore this if you are doing
an unrelated PR):

  • PR title is "DOC: update the docstring"
  • The validation script passes: scripts/validate_docstrings.py <your-function-or-method>
  • The PEP8 style check passes: git diff upstream/master -u -- "*.py" | flake8 --diff
  • The html version looks good: python doc/make.py --single <your-function-or-method>
  • It has been proofread on language by another sprint participant

Please include the output of the validation script below between the "```" ticks:

################################################################################
################### Docstring (pandas.Index.get_duplicates)  ###################
################################################################################

Extract duplicated index elements.

Returns a sorted list of index elements which appear more than once in
the index.

Returns
-------
array-like
    List of duplicated indexes.

See Also
--------
Index.duplicated : Return boolean array denoting duplicates.
Index.drop_duplicates : Return Index with duplicates removed.

Examples
--------

Works on different Index of types.

>>> pd.Index([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4]).get_duplicates()
[2, 3]
>>> pd.Index([1., 2., 2., 3., 3., 3., 4.]).get_duplicates()
[2.0, 3.0]
>>> pd.Index(['a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'd']).get_duplicates()
['b', 'c']
>>> dates = pd.to_datetime(['2018-01-01', '2018-01-02', '2018-01-03',
...                         '2018-01-03', '2018-01-04', '2018-01-04'],
...                        format='%Y-%m-%d')
>>> pd.Index(dates).get_duplicates()
DatetimeIndex(['2018-01-03', '2018-01-04'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

Sorts duplicated elements even when indexes are unordered.

>>> pd.Index([1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 3]).get_duplicates()
[2, 3]

Return empty array-like structure when all elements are unique.

>>> pd.Index([1, 2, 3, 4]).get_duplicates()
[]
>>> dates = pd.to_datetime(['2018-01-01', '2018-01-02', '2018-01-03'],
...                        format='%Y-%m-%d')
>>> pd.Index(dates).get_duplicates()
DatetimeIndex([], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq=None)

################################################################################

Docstring for "pandas.Index.get_duplicates" correct. :)

If the validation script still gives errors, but you think there is a good reason
to deviate in this case (and there are certainly such cases), please state this
explicitly.

Checklist for other PRs (remove this part if you are doing a PR for the pandas documentation sprint):

  • closes #xxxx
  • tests added / passed
  • passes git diff upstream/master -u -- "*.py" | flake8 --diff
  • whatsnew entry
