In many circumstances, datasets can be incomplete or tainted by the presence of invalid data. For example, a sensor may have failed to record a data, or recorded an invalid value. The numpy.ma module provides a convenient way to address this issue, by introducing masked arrays.Masked arrays are arrays that may have missing or invalid entries.
numpy.MaskedArray.masked_greater_equal() function is used to mask an array where greater than or equal to a given value.This function is a shortcut to masked_where, with condition = (arr >= value).
Syntax :
numpy.ma.masked_greater_equal(arr, value, copy=True)Parameters:
arr : [ndarray] Input array which we want to mask.
value : [int] It is used to mask the array element which are >= value.
copy : [bool] If True (default) make a copy of arr in the result. If False modify arr in place and return a view.Return : [ MaskedArray] The resultant array after masking.

Input array : [ 5.0e+08 3.0e-05 -4.5e+01 4.0e+04 5.0e+02] Masked array : [-- 3e-05 -45.0 -- --]
