Dear All,
Probably a very basic question, but can't seem to work my way around it.
I want to which row has the maximum value. But what if the row names do not
correspond with the row numbers. In the example below, you'll see that the max
of example is row 4, but the name of row 4 is "9". How do I get R to return "9"
as value, instead of 4.
example <- matrix(c(0,0,0,1), 4, 1, dimnames=list(c("1", "3", "5", "9"),
c("1")))
which.max(example)
[1] 4
Hope someone can help out.
