    Ignore data with nan or zero value.
    Parameters: data       : 2D / 3D np.ndarray, data to be derampped
                             If 3D, it's in size of (num_date, length, width)
                mask_in    : 2D np.ndarray, mask of pixels used for ramp estimation
                ramp_type  : str, name of ramp to be estimated.
                metadata   : dict, containing reference pixel info, REF_Y/X
                max_num_sample : float, max number of pixel sample,
                             above which the uniform sampling is applied to reduce sample size
                coeff_file : str, path to the text file to save the estimated ramp coefficients
                ignore_zero_value : bool, ignore pixels with zero values, default is True
