Hi,
I'm quite new to numpy. My understanding of argmax() is that it gives
the index of the highest number in the array, just like:
from numpy import *
a=array(range(4096))
a=a*15
argmax(a)
gives 4095.
But, when I use this within my program I have a little function:
def localMaxima(set):
maxPos = argmax(set)
maxVal = set[maxPos]
return maxPos, maxVal
that I have had to extend a little bit to:
def localMaxima(set):
maxPos = argmax(set)
try:
maxVal = set[maxPos]
print "ok"
except:
print "maxPos = " + str(maxPos) + ", while len(set) is " + str(len
(set))
print set
maxVal = 0.0
return maxPos, maxVal
The problem is that set is an array of 2048 numbers. However, when I
run this function I get:
"maxPos = 7925760, while len(set) is 2048"
I do not understand why I get such a high index. Do you have any
suggestions?
Cheers
Nik
