max_n: Maximum of Numeric Values
In dvmisc: Convenience Functions, Moving Window Statistics, and Graphics

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Written in C++, this function tends to run faster than max for large numeric vectors/matrices.

max_n(x)

`x`	Numeric vector.

Numeric value.

# For large objects, max_n is faster than max
x <- rnorm(100000)
max(x) == max_n(x)
benchmark(max(x), max_n(x), replications = 1000)

# For smaller objects, max_n is slower than max
x <- rnorm(100)
max(x) == max_n(x)
benchmark(max(x), max_n(x), replications = 1000)
