But how do i check for it? Nan is designed to propagate through all calculations, infecting them like a virus, so if somewhere in your deep, complex calculations you hit upon a nan, you don't bubble out a seemingly sensible answer Otherwise by identity nan/nan should equal 1, along with all the other consequences like (nan/nan)==1, (nan*1)==nan, etc. 182 i just came across this technique in the book effective javascript that is pretty simple Since nan is the only javascript value that is treated as unequal to itself, you can always test if a value is nan by checking it for equality to itself: >>> df.iloc[1,0] nan so, why is the second option not working
Is it possible to check for nan values using iloc This question previously used pd.np instead of np and.ix in addition to.iloc, but since these no longer exist, they have been edited out to keep it short and clear. The previous answers are useful, but perhaps not clear regarding the root of the problem In any language, sort applies a given ordering, defined by a comparison function or in some other way, over the domain of the input values Operator <, could be used throughout if and only if less than defines a suitable ordering over the input values Once a nan has entered the computation, it will typically never leave, so your convergence test would become an infinite loop
Nan not being equal to nan is part of the definition of nan, so that part's easy As for nan in [nan] being true, that's because identity is tested before equality for containment in lists. Nan stands for not a number, and this is not equal to 0 Although positive and negative infinity can be said to be symmetric about 0, the same can be said for any value n, meaning that the result of adding the two yields nan This idea is discussed in this math.se question. When i try to apply a function to the amount column, i get the following error
Cannot convert float nan to integer i have tried applying a function using math.isnan, pandas'.replace method,.sparse data attribute from pandas 0.9, if nan == nan statement in a function I have also looked at this q/a How do i do it? 37 it's a special case, nan is the only thing in javascript not equal to itself Although the other answers about strings vs the nan object are right too.
