Matlab: Find the arguments of maxima/minima (argmax/argmin) of a vector

The argument of maximum means the index at which the vector/function values is maximized.

Example

>> a = [3 2 1 -2 7]

a =
     3     2     1    -2     7

>> [max_value, argmax] = max(a)

max_value =
     7

argmax =
     5

>> [min_value, argmin] = min(a)

min_value =
    -2

argmin =
     4

Matlab: feval() - Call functions with the function name as a string input

To call any Matlab function, use feval() with the function nameas the first input string and the parameters of the function as the other remaining input arguments.

For example, for sayHello.m:

function sayHello(name)

fprintf('Hello %s!\n',name);

Results of the command line with fevel():

>> sayHello('Matlab')
Hello Matlab!
>> feval('sayHello','World')
Hello World!

Matlab: Find local maxima 求局部極大值

To find the local maximum values in Matlab, use findpeaks():

>> a = [7 -2 -5 8 -6 -3 4 9 6 3 -2 5 8 11 7 3 -5];
[peaks, items] = findpeaks(a);
>> peaks

peaks =

     8     9    11

>> items

items =

     4     8    14

>> 

To find N large elements of a vector in Matlab in descending order, use maxK():

K>> [peaks, items] = maxk(a,5);
K>> peaks

peaks =

    11     9     8     8     7

K>> items

items =

    14     8     4    13     1

K>>

Matlab: Flip vector 水平翻轉向量

>> a = [1 2 3 4 5 6];

Matlab: Maximum element and index

To the the maximum value of an array and the index of the maximum value, use the max() function  as below:

>> a = [1 4 5 7 3 2]

a =

     1     4     5     7     3     2

>> [max, index] = max(a)

max =

     7


index =

     4

>>
