Function Synopsis

[y,i] = nmax(x,dim)

Help text

NMAX Column minimum with missing data.
  Y = NMAX(X) returns the largest element in each column of X.
  Missing data values must be encoded as NaNs. For vectors, NMAX(X)
  returns the largest value of the elements in X.
  [Y,I] = NMAX(X) stores the indices of the maximum values in vector I.
  NMAX(X,DIM) returns maxima for dimension DIM.
  If DIM is omitted, the first dimension of size larger than 1 is taken.

  See also NMEAN, NMIN.
