MAX: Find maximum value

In MoLE: Modeling Language Evolution

Description

Extension of standard max and min functions with which rank position(s) can be specified and result can be either rank or value.

Usage

MAX(vector, rank = 1, value = FALSE, rank.adjust = TRUE, forceChoice = FALSE)

Arguments

vector	Vector in which maximum/minimum element needs to be identified
rank	value(s) or rank(s) of maximum values.
value	Should value or rank be returned?
rank.adjust	If maximum value of range of ranks exceeds vector length, should this be adjusted?
forceChoice	In case of ties, should all results be returned or only one?

Value

numeric vector (either value or rank)

Warning

If minimum value (of a range of) rank(s) exceeds vector length, results are meaningless.
