Hi,
I have thw saame issue. My matrixes do not have NaN values, however, multiplication of the matrixes has NaN values? Is this situation is acceptable or am I missing something?

You could get NaN if you multiply infinity by 0. Once you have one NaN, it very often "pollutes" all the other calculations.

i'm guessing probably i am not suppose to have infinity but my matrix is 24x2100 size so should i check all elements by one by if it they are infinity or not?
is there any other easy way to do that?
any(isfinite(Matrix(:)))
will be true if there are any infinite values.
Be sure to also check
any(isnan(Matrix(:)))
which will be true if there are any NaN values.
hi, I dont have infinite values - checked with any(isinf(Matrix(:))).. no Nan-s either, the columns/rows match, and i get Nan-s on the output..any firther suggestion? thank you
