## Enum NaNStrategy

- java.lang.Object
- - java.lang.Enum<NaNStrategy>
  - - org.apache.commons.math3.stat.ranking.NaNStrategy

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<NaNStrategy>

      public enum NaNStrategy
      extends java.lang.Enum<NaNStrategy>

  Strategies for handling NaN values in rank transformations.
  - MINIMAL - NaNs are treated as minimal in the ordering, equivalent to (that is, tied with) `Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY`.
  - MAXIMAL - NaNs are treated as maximal in the ordering, equivalent to `Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY`
  - REMOVED - NaNs are removed before the rank transform is applied
  - FIXED - NaNs are left "in place," that is the rank transformation is applied to the other elements in the input array, but the NaN elements are returned unchanged.
  - FAILED - If any NaN is encountered in the input array, an appropriate exception is thrown
  Since:
    2.0

    - #### MAXIMAL

          public static final NaNStrategy MAXIMAL

      NaNs are considered maximal in the ordering

    - #### REMOVED

          public static final NaNStrategy REMOVED

      NaNs are removed before computing ranks

    - #### FIXED

          public static final NaNStrategy FIXED

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static NaNStrategy[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (NaNStrategy c : NaNStrategy.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static NaNStrategy valueOf(java.lang.String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
