How to do some calculations on nonzero nonNAN elements of an array
Show older comments
I have an array of about 400*20 size and some of its members are NAN or zero. There is a second array of the same size which I need to divide the first array by corrsponding member of the second array: FirstArrayName./SecondArrayName
how can I exclude non zero non NAN elements from this calculation?

What should be the result on the NaN - positions of the resulting matrix?

Are you want exclude zero or NaN or both?
There is no impact, if you divide directly without excluding the NaN and zero elements. NaN position reflects the NaN again and zero reflects the same zero, in addition you can suppress those elements in the result array also.

Could you provide a sample of your data? and the result you expect?
