Hi,
Is there a way to get the minimum value of a vector or a matrix?
Suppose :
A[3,3]
c1 c2 c3
r1 0 2 3
r2 1 2 3
r3 3 1 5
I want to have:
B[3,3]
c1 c2 c3
r1 1 0 1
r2 0 0 1
r3 0 1 0
where the 1s are true if the value in column j is the smallest.
Is there a way to combine (ie: the smallest value of the column
j AND of the corresponding line i)?
How also to get the smallest element of a matrix?
Another question:
Suppose the macro:
local mymacro 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
how to localise and index the smallest value of the macro?
I checked with macrolists but there is no answer.
Many thanks in advance.
Amadou B. DIALLO.
