Root Cause

np.sqrt applied to negative numbers, producing NaN.

generic

中文

对负数应用 np.sqrt，产生 NaN。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    np.sqrt(np.clip(arr, 0, None))
  2. 90% success 
    np.where(arr >= 0, np.sqrt(arr), np.nan)

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    Hides NaN; downstream results wrong

  2. 70% fail

    Changes math silently; loses sign info
