Remove infinite values from a given Pandas DataFrame

Let's discuss how to Remove the infinite values from the Pandas dataframe.  First let's make a dataframe:

Example:

# Import Required Libraries
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Create a dictionary for the dataframe
dict = {'Name': ['Sumit Tyagi', 'Sukritin', 'Akriti Goel',
                 'Sanskriti', 'Abhishek Jain'],
        'Age': [22, 20, np.inf, -np.inf, 22], 
        'Marks': [90, 84, 33, 87, 82]}

# Converting Dictionary to Pandas Dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(dict)

# Print Dataframe
df

Output: 
 

Method 1: Replacing infinite with Nan and then dropping rows with Nan

We will first replace the infinite values with the NaN values and then use the dropna() method to remove the rows with infinite values. df.replace() method takes 2 positional arguments. First is the list of values you want to replace and second with which value you want to replace the values. 
 

# Replacing infinite with nan
df.replace([np.inf, -np.inf], np.nan, inplace=True)

# Dropping all the rows with nan values
df.dropna(inplace=True)

# Printing df
df

Output: 
 

Method 2: Changing Pandas option to consider infinite as Nan

Pandas provide the option to use infinite as Nan. It makes the whole pandas module to consider the infinite values as nan.  We can do this by using pd.set_option(). It sets the option globally throughout the complete Jupyter Notebook. 
Syntax:

pd.set_option('mode.use_inf_as_na', True)

It sets the options to use infinite as a Nan value throughout the session or until the options are not set back to the False.  

# Changing option to use infinite as nan
pd.set_option('mode.use_inf_as_na', True)

# Dropping all the rows with nan values
df.dropna(inplace=True)

# Printing df
df

Output: 
 

Method 3: Consider infinite as Nan but using option_context

Instead of using pd.set_options(), which sets the option globally, we can use pd.option_context(), which changes option within the certain scope only.
 

# Changing option to use infinite as nan
with pd.option_context('mode.use_inf_as_na', True):
  
    # Dropping the rows with nan 
    # (or inf) values
    df.dropna(inplace=True)

# Printing df
df

Output: 
 

Method 4: Using the filter

We will first create a filter which returns a boolean dataframe and use this filter to mask the infinite values.  

# Creating filter
df_filter = df.isin([np.nan, np.inf, -np.inf])

# Masking df with the filter
df = df[~df_filter]

# Dropping rows with nan values
df.dropna(inplace=True)

# Printing df
df

Output:
