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.allequal() function return True if all entries of a and b are equal, using fill_value as a truth value where either or both are masked.
Syntax :
numpy.ma.allequal(arr1, arr2, fill_value=True)Parameters:
arr1, arr2 : [array_like] Input arrays to compare.
fill_value : [ bool, optional] Whether masked values in arr1 or arr2 are considered equal (True) or not (False).Return : [ bool]Returns True if the two arrays are equal within the given tolerance, False otherwise. If either array contains NaN, then False is returned.
