which.min {base} | R Documentation |
Determines the location, i.e., index of the (first) minimum or maximum of a numeric vector.
which.min(x)
which.max(x)
x |
numeric (integer or double) vector, whose

Missing and NaN
values are discarded.
an integer
of length 1 or 0 (iff x
has no
non-NA
s), giving the index of the first minimum or
maximum respectively of x
.
If this extremum is unique (or empty), the results are the same as
(but more efficient than) which(x == min(x))
or
which(x == max(x))
respectively.

which.is.max
in package nnet differs in
breaking ties at random (and having a ‘fuzz’ in the definition
of ties).
x <- c(1:4,0:5,11)
which.min(x)
which.max(x)
## it *does* work with NA's present, by discarding them:
presidents[1:30]
range(presidents, na.rm = TRUE)
which.min(presidents) # 28
which.max(presidents) # 2
