amax, ndarray.max

Notes

This is the same as ndarray.max, but returns a matrix object where ndarray.max would return an ndarray.

Examples

>>> x = np.matrix(np.arange(12).reshape((3,4))); x
matrix([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
        [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
        [ 8,  9, 10, 11]])
>>> x.max()
11
>>> x.max(0)
matrix([[8, 9, 10, 11]])
>>> x.argmax(1)
matrix([[3],
        [7],
        [11]])
