Function Synopsis

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

Help text

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