    I was training my agents and suddenly during the training this error popped out, I do not find a reason why can this happen, there has to be a number in that place.
    That is why my training was stable until this happen:
    Code (CSharp):

    Maybe a division by zero somewhere? That's where I usually get my NaNs from ;)

    The method where it happens is this:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. public float GetEntropyCompleta2()
    2.     {
    3.         int[] histogram = getHistogramaCompleto();
    4.         double[] lista = new double[histogram.Length];
    5.         double entropia = 0;
    6.         int deads= histogram[0];
    7.  
    8.         for (int i = 1; i < histogram.Length; i++)
    9.         {
    10.             lista[i] = histogram[i];
    11.             lista[i] = lista[i] / (144 - deads);
    12.             if (lista[i] != 0)
    13.             {
    14.                 entropia += (lista[i] * Math.Log(lista[i], 3));
    15.             }
    16.         }
    17.         return -(float)entropia;
    18.     }
    The int deads is never bigger than 144, and the values is lista can not be negative. Any ideas?

    But can it be 144? That would give you a division by 0, resulting in a NaN in
    lista[i]
    .

    It could be but is quite hard, it it happens I will let you know

    Also note that Math.Log(0) will produce a NegativeInfinity, and 0 * NegativeInfinity results in a NaN.

    Sorry, I missed that part. I'm not sure how
    lista[i] * Math.Log(lista[i], 3)
    will behave if the value is very small (but non-zero) though.

    I think that might be it.
