# numpy.ma.fix_invalid

ma.fix_invalid(a, mask=False, copy=True, fill_value=None)

  Return input with invalid data masked and replaced by a fill value.

  Invalid data means values of `nan`, `inf`, etc.

  Parameters
    a array_like

      Input array, a (subclass of) ndarray.

    mask sequence, optional

      Mask. Must be convertible to an array of booleans with the same shape as data. True indicates a masked (i.e. invalid) data.

    copy bool, optional

      Whether to use a copy of a (True) or to fix a in place (False). Default is True.

    fill_value scalar, optional

      Value used for fixing invalid data. Default is None, in which case the `a.fill_value` is used.

  Returns
    b MaskedArray

      The input array with invalid entries fixed.

  Notes

  A copy is performed by default.

  Examples

      >>> x = np.ma.array([1., -1, np.nan, np.inf], mask=[1] + [0]*3)
      >>> x
      masked_array(data=[--, -1.0, nan, inf],
                   mask=[ True, False, False, False],
             fill_value=1e+20)
      >>> np.ma.fix_invalid(x)
      masked_array(data=[--, -1.0, --, --],
                   mask=[ True, False,  True,  True],
             fill_value=1e+20)

      >>> fixed = np.ma.fix_invalid(x)
      >>> fixed.data
      array([ 1.e+00, -1.e+00,  1.e+20,  1.e+20])
      >>> x.data
      array([ 1., -1., nan, inf])
