Description

Extension of standard max and min functions with which rank position(s) can be specified and result can be either rank or value.

Usage

MAX(vector, rank = 1, value = FALSE, rank.adjust = TRUE, forceChoice = FALSE)

Arguments

vector

Vector in which maximum/minimum element needs to be identified

rank

value(s) or rank(s) of maximum values.

value

Should value or rank be returned?

rank.adjust

If maximum value of range of ranks exceeds vector length, should this be adjusted?

forceChoice

In case of ties, should all results be returned or only one?
