dask.array.nanmin

dask.array.nanmin

dask.array.nanmin(a, axis=None, keepdims=False, split_every=None, out=None)[source]

Return minimum of an array or minimum along an axis, ignoring any NaNs. When all-NaN slices are encountered a RuntimeWarning is raised and Nan is returned for that slice.

This docstring was copied from numpy.nanmin.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

Parameters
aarray_like

Array containing numbers whose minimum is desired. If a is not an array, a conversion is attempted.

axis{int, tuple of int, None}, optional

Axis or axes along which the minimum is computed. The default is to compute the minimum of the flattened array.

outndarray, optional

Alternate output array in which to place the result. The default is None; if provided, it must have the same shape as the expected output, but the type will be cast if necessary. See Output type determination for more details.

New in version 1.8.0.

keepdimsbool, optional

If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the original a.

If the value is anything but the default, then keepdims will be passed through to the min method of sub-classes of ndarray. If the sub-classes methods does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.

New in version 1.8.0.

initialscalar, optional (Not supported in Dask)

The maximum value of an output element. Must be present to allow computation on empty slice. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

New in version 1.22.0.

wherearray_like of bool, optional (Not supported in Dask)

Elements to compare for the minimum. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.

New in version 1.22.0.

Returns
nanminndarray

An array with the same shape as a, with the specified axis removed. If a is a 0-d array, or if axis is None, an ndarray scalar is returned. The same dtype as a is returned.

isfinite

Shows which elements are neither NaN nor 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. Positive infinity is treated as a very large number and negative infinity is treated as a very small (i.e. negative) number.

If the input has a integer type the function is equivalent to np.min.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np  
>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, np.nan]])  
>>> np.nanmin(a)  
1.0
>>> np.nanmin(a, axis=0)  
array([1.,  2.])
>>> np.nanmin(a, axis=1)  
array([1.,  3.])

When positive infinity and negative infinity are present:

>>> np.nanmin([1, 2, np.nan, np.inf])  
1.0
>>> np.nanmin([1, 2, np.nan, -np.inf])  
-inf
