What's the index of the first min or max value in an object?
Determines the location (i.e. index) of the (first) minimum or maximum value in an object.
NOTE: This man page is for the which.min and which.max
S4 generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package.
See ?base::which.min for the default methods (defined
in the base package).
Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for objects (typically
vector-, array-, or list-like) not supported by the default methods.
which.min(x, ...) which.max(x, ...)
x |
An object, typically with a vector-, array-, or list-like semantic. |
... |
Additional arguments, for use in specific methods. |
See ?base::which.min for the value returned by the
default methods.
Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave as consistently as possible with the default methods.
The default methods (defined in the base package) only take a
single argument. We've added the ... argument to the generic
functions defined in the BiocGenerics package so they
can be called with an arbitrary number of effective arguments.
This typically allows methods to add extra arguments for
controlling/altering the behavior of the operation. Like for
example the global argument supported by the which.max
method for NumericList objects (defined in the
IRanges package).
base::which.min for the default which.min
and which.max methods.
showMethods for displaying a summary of the
methods defined for a given generic function.
selectMethod for getting the definition of
a specific method.
which.max,NumericList-method in the IRanges
package for an example of a specific which.max method
(defined for NumericList objects).
BiocGenerics for a summary of all the generics defined in the BiocGenerics package.
