You get this message when trying to take the maximum of a vector with no
elements. I am guessing he is looping through and in some cases getting an
empty vector.
x <- numeric(0)
max(x)
[1] -Inf
Warning message:
In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf

Best as I can tell the code is working properly and the output is as
expected. I would like some help in understanding why he is getting this
error message and what its implications are. I have his code.
