numpy.nan_to_num

numpy.nan_to_num(x, copy=True)

Replace nan with zero and inf with finite numbers.

Returns an array or scalar replacing Not a Number (NaN) with zero, (positive) infinity with a very large number and negative infinity with a very small (or negative) number.

Parameters:

x : array_like

Input data.

copy : bool, optional

Whether to create a copy of x (True) or to replace values in-place (False). The in-place operation only occurs if casting to an array does not require a copy. Default is True.

New in version 1.13.

Returns:

out : ndarray

New Array with the same shape as x and dtype of the element in x with the greatest precision. If x is inexact, then NaN is replaced by zero, and infinity (-infinity) is replaced by the largest (smallest or most negative) floating point value that fits in the output dtype. If x is not inexact, then a copy of x is returned.

Shows which elements are positive or negative infinity.

isneginf

Shows which elements are negative infinity.

isposinf

Shows which elements are positive infinity.

isnan

Shows which elements are Not a Number (NaN).

isfinite

Shows which elements are finite (not NaN, not infinity)

Notes

NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity.
