Is there anything else besides None which is recognized/converted to
numpy.nan?
Put differently, where can I find documentation about basic nan
definition and handling in numpy? (I have the numpy book which covers
isnan etc., when you have the nans already set up.)
I was also a bit surprised at the following behavior:
>>> a = numpy.asarray([1,1])
>>> a
array([1, 1])
>>> a[0]=numpy.nan
>>> a
array([0, 1])
Is this a bug or intended?
Thanks,
Sven
