Return the indexes of the first occurrences of the maximum values along the specified axis. If axis is None, the index is for the flattened matrix.

Parameters:See `numpy.argmax` for complete descriptionsNotes

This is the same as

ndarray.argmax

, but returns a

Examples

>>> x=np.matrix(np.arange(12).reshape((3,4)));xmatrix([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]])>>> x.argmax()11>>> x.argmax(0)matrix([[2, 2, 2, 2]])>>> x.argmax(1)matrix([[3], [3], [3]])
