+Fix for Issue #13226: Handles missing or invalid values (None, NaN)
+to ensure consistent compression behavior.
+
+This module provides a `CoordinateCompressor` class that safely compresses
+and decompresses values from a list by mapping each unique valid value
+to a unique integer index.
+
+Invalid or non-comparable values (like None or NaN) are ignored during
+compression mapping and return -1 when compressed.

     """
-    A class for coordinate compression.
-
-    This class allows you to compress and decompress a list of values.
-
-    Mapping:
-    In addition to compression and decompression, this class maintains a mapping
-    between original values and their compressed counterparts using two data
-    structures: a dictionary `coordinate_map` and a list `reverse_map`:
-    - `coordinate_map`: A dictionary that maps original values to their compressed
-      coordinates. Keys are original values, and values are compressed coordinates.
-    - `reverse_map`: A list used for reverse mapping, where each index corresponds
-      to a compressed coordinate, and the value at that index is the original value.
-
-    Example of mapping:
-    Original: 10, Compressed: 0
-    Original: 52, Compressed: 1
-    Original: 83, Compressed: 2
-    Original: 100, Compressed: 3
-
-    This mapping allows for efficient compression and decompression of values within
-    the list.
+    CoordinateCompressor compresses comparable values to integer ranks.
+
+    Example:
+    >>> arr = [100, 10, 52, 83]
+    >>> cc = CoordinateCompressor(arr)
+    >>> cc.compress(100)
+    3
+    >>> cc.compress(52)
