R: Return index of maximal/minimal/best element in numerical...

getMaxIndex {BBmisc} | R Documentation

## Return index of maximal/minimal/best element in numerical vector.

### Description

If `x` is empty or only contains NAs which are to be removed, -1 is returned.

### Usage

    getMaxIndex(x, ties.method = "random", na.rm = FALSE)

    getMinIndex(x, ties.method = "random", na.rm = FALSE)

    getBestIndex(x, minimize = TRUE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | [`numeric`] Input vector.
`ties.method` | [`character(1)`] How should ties be handled? Possible are: “random”, “first”, “last”. Default is “random”.
`na.rm` | [`logical(1)`] If `FALSE`, NA is returned if an NA is encountered in `x`. If `TRUE`, NAs are disregarded. Default is `FALSE`
`minimize` | [`logical(1)`] Minimal element is considered best? Default is `TRUE`.
`...` | [any] Further arguments passed down to the delegate.

### Value

[`integer(1)`].

### Note

Function `getBestIndex` is a simple wrapper for `getMinIndex` or `getMaxIndex` respectively depending on the argument `minimize`.
