# Missing data detection/handling

# First, how do we represent missing data? (i.e., which values count as
# "missing"?) In the long run, we want to use numpy's NA support... but that
# doesn't exist yet. Until then, people use various sorts of ad-hoc
# things. Some things that might be considered NA:
#   NA (eventually)
#   NaN  (in float or object arrays)
#   None (in object arrays)
#   np.ma.masked (in numpy.ma masked arrays)
# Pandas compatibility considerations:
#   For numeric arrays, None is unconditionally converted to NaN.
#   For object arrays (including string arrays!), None and NaN are preserved,
#     but pandas.isnull() returns True for both.
# np.ma compatibility considerations:
#   Preserving array subtypes is a huge pain, because it means that we can't
#   just call 'asarray' and be done... we already jump through tons of hoops
#   to write code that can handle both ndarray's and pandas objects, and
#   just thinking about adding another item to this list makes me tired. So
#   for now we don't support np.ma missing values. Use pandas!

# Next, what should be done once we find missing data? R's options:
#   -- throw away those rows (from all aligned matrices)
#      -- with or without preserving information on which rows were discarded
#   -- error out
#   -- carry on
# The 'carry on' option requires that we have some way to represent NA in our
# output array. To avoid further solidifying the use of NaN for this purpose,
# we'll leave this option out for now, until real NA support is
# available. Also, we always preserve information on which rows were
# discarded, using the pandas index functionality (currently this is only
# returned to the original caller if they used return_type="dataframe",
# though).

    """An :class:`NAAction` object defines a strategy for handling missing
    data.

    "NA" is short for "Not Available", and is used to refer to any value which
    is somehow unmeasured or unavailable. In the long run, it is devoutly
    hoped that numpy will gain first-class missing value support. Until then,
    we work around this lack as best we're able.

    There are two parts to this: First, we have to determine what counts as
    missing data. For numerical data, the default is to treat NaN values
    (e.g., ``numpy.nan``) as missing. For categorical data, the default is to
    treat NaN values, and also the Python object None, as missing. (This is
    consistent with how pandas does things, so if you're already using
    None/NaN to mark missing data in your pandas DataFrames, you're good to
    go.)

    Second, we have to decide what to do with any missing data when we
    encounter it. One option is to simply discard any rows which contain
    missing data from our design matrices (``drop``). Another option is to
    raise an error (``raise``). A third option would be to simply let the
    missing values pass through into the returned design matrices. However,
    this last option is not yet implemented, because of the lack of any
    standard way to represent missing values in arbitrary numpy matrices;
    we're hoping numpy will get this sorted out before we standardize on
    anything ourselves.

    You can control how patsy handles missing data through the ``NA_action=``
    argument to functions like :func:`build_design_matrices` and
    :func:`dmatrix`. If all you want to do is to choose between ``drop`` and
    ``raise`` behaviour, you can pass one of those strings as the
    ``NA_action=`` argument directly. If you want more fine-grained control
    over how missing values are detected and handled, then you can create an
    instance of this class, or your own object that implements the same
    interface, and pass that as the ``NA_action=`` argument instead.
