How to find the row and column number for the minimum and maximum values in an R matrix?
A matrix can have one or more than one minimum and maximum values. Also, the size of the matrix can be just one column and multiple rows or thousands of columns and thousands of rows. The row number and column number for the minimum and maximum values in a matrix can be found by using the following syntax −
For Maximum
which(“Matrix_Name”==min(“Matrix_Name”),arr.ind=TRUE)
For Minimum>
which(“Matrix_Name”==max(“Matrix_Name”),arr.ind=TRUE)
Example
M1<-matrix(1:25,ncol=5)
M1
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,] 1 6 11 16 21
[2,] 2 7 12 17 22
[3,] 3 8 13 18 23
[4,] 4 9 14 19 24
[5,] 5 10 15 20 25
which(M1==max(M1),arr.ind=TRUE)
row col
[1,] 5 5
which(M1==min(M1),arr.ind=TRUE)
row col
[1,] 1 1
M2<-matrix(rnorm(25),ncol=5)
