numpy.argmax(a, axis=None, out=None)[source]
Returns the indices of the maximum values along an axis.
Parameters: | a : array_like Input array. axis : int, optional By default, the index is into the flattened array, otherwise along the specified axis. out : array, optional If provided, the result will be inserted into this array. It should be of the appropriate shape and dtype. |
|---|---|
Returns: | index_array : ndarray of ints Array of indices into the array. It has the same shape as a.shape with the dimension along axis removed. |

amax
The maximum value along a given axis.
unravel_index
Convert a flat index into an index tuple.
Notes
In case of multiple occurrences of the maximum values, the indices corresponding to the first occurrence are returned.
Examples
>>>
代码语言：javascript复制>>> a = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3) 10
>>> a
array([[10, 11, 12],
[13, 14, 15]])
>>> np.argmax(a)
5
>>> np.argmax(a, axis=0)
array([1, 1, 1])
>>> np.argmax(a, axis=1)
array([2, 2])Indexes of the maximal elements of a N-dimensional array:
代码语言：javascript复制>>> ind = np.unravel_index(np.argmax(a, axis=None), a.shape)
>>> ind
(1, 2)
>>> a[ind]
15
>>> b = np.arange(6)
>>> b[1] = 5
>>> b
array([0, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> np.argmax(b) # Only the first occurrence is returned.
