max_n {dvmisc}

Maximum of Numeric Values

Description

Written in C++, this function tends to run faster than max for large numeric vectors/matrices.

Usage

max_n(x)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector.

Value

Numeric value.

Examples

# For large objects, max_n is faster than max
x <- rnorm(100000)
max(x) == max_n(x)
benchmark(max(x), max_n(x), replications = 1000)

# For smaller objects, max_n is slower than max
x <- rnorm(100)
max(x) == max_n(x)
benchmark(max(x), max_n(x), replications = 1000)
