How do I remove all zero elements from a NumPy array?

Question

I have a rank-1 numpy.array of which I want to make a boxplot. However, I want to exclude all values equal to zero in the array. Currently, I solved this by loo

Answer 1

I would like to suggest you to simply utilize NaN for cases like this, where you'll like to ignore some values, but still want to keep the procedure statistical as meaningful as possible. So

In []: X= randn(1e3, 5)
In []: X[abs(X)< .1]= NaN
In []: isnan(X).sum(0)
Out[: array([82, 84, 71, 81, 73])
In []: boxplot(X)
