Check for NaNs and raise warning
As just discussed with @observingClouds and @ayoubft, we should have a check that elements in an array have only finite values and raise a warning if. While the algorithm does not care about the meaning of the bitpatterns the user may not get what they expect if there are many NaNs in the dataset. Example, currently we have
julia> A = rand(100,100);
julia> A[1] = NaN
NaN
julia> bitinformation(A)
64-element Vector{Float64}:
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
0.0
⋮
but we shoud throw something like
julia> for a in A
if !isfinite(a)
@warn "Non-finite value detected."
end
end
┌ Warning: Non-finite value detected.
