I find myself often wanting both the max and the argmax of an array.
(And same for the other arg* functions)
Of course I can do argmax first then use fancy indexing to get the max as well.
But the result of argmax isn't really in a format that's readily
usable as an index.
You have to do something like
a = rand(10,5)
imax = a.argmax(axis=0)
vmax = a[(imax, range(5))]
Which isn't terrible, just always takes me a moment to remember the
proper indexing expression.
Would a way to get the argmax and the max at the same time be of
interest to anyone else? Maybe an extra 'ret' arg on argmax?
a = rand(10,5)
imax,vmax = a.argmax(axis=0,retmax=True)
