ignoring NAs in a dataset with numpy


Hey All,
I am working with numpy
I have a data set with a lot of nan values, and i want to calculate standard
deviation
is there a direct function to do it for example nansum(or something like
this),
to calculate standard deviation ignoring nan values??
Thanks
Rafi

Howdy, I'm a college student and for one of we are writing programs to numerically compute the parameters of antenna arrays. I decided to use Python to code up my programs.

To invert the matrix I've tried using numpy.numarray.linear_algebra.inverse and...

Turning algs for old NumPy modules into numpy code I suffer from this: Upon further processing of returns of numpy calculations, lots of data in an apps object tree will become elementary numpy types.

I wanted to point anybody interested to a blog post that describes a useful pattern for having a NumPy array that points to the memory created by a different memory manager than the standard one used by NumPy. The pattern shows how to create a NumPy array that points to previously allocated memory and then shows how to construct an object that allows the correct deallocator to be called when the NumPy array is freed. This may be...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
