Handling of value NA (not available) of R not supported in Python
Closed this issue · 1 comments

The special value NA
used in R for values which are not available is not supported in python. For floating point numbers is would be possible to use NaN
(not a number) instead. But for integer data (e.g. l
, n
) this is also not supported. A common solution for positive integers is the use of -1
for unavailable data. It must be checked if this is possible for all cases.

Decision of @saskiahekker: Usage of floating point type for integer data and NaN
for not available.
