numpy.nan_to_num

numpy.nan_to_num(x) [source]

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.
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.

isinf

Shows which elements are negative 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

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.
