Compute the maximum value along one or more ndarray dimensions according to a callback function.
var maxBy = require( '@stdlib/stats/max-by' );Computes the maximum value along one or more ndarray dimensions according to a callback function.
var array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/array' );
var x = array( [ -1.0, 2.0, -3.0 ] );
function clbk( v ) {
return v * 2.0;
}
var y = maxBy( x, clbk );
// returns <ndarray>[ 4.0 ]The function has the following parameters:
- x: input ndarray.
- options: function options (optional).
- clbk: callback function.
- thisArg: callback function execution context (optional).
The invoked callback is provided three arguments:
- value: current array element.
- index: current array element index.
- array: input ndarray.
To set the callback execution context, provide a thisArg.

// returns <ndarray>
var v = y.get();
// returns 4.0
var count = ctx.count;
// returns 3The function accepts the following options:
- dims: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction. If not provided, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided input ndarray.
- dtype: output ndarray data type. Must be a real-valued or "generic" data type.
- keepdims: boolean indicating whether the reduced dimensions should be included in the returned ndarray as singleton dimensions. Default:
false.
By default, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided input ndarray. To perform a reduction over specific dimensions, provide a dims option.

// returns trueThe method has the following parameters:
- x: input ndarray.
- out: output ndarray.
- options: function options (optional).
- clbk: callback function.
- thisArg: callback execution context (optional).
The method accepts the following options:
- dims: list of dimensions over which to perform a reduction. If not provided, the function performs a reduction over all elements in a provided input ndarray.
- A provided callback function should return a numeric value.
- If a provided callback function does not return any value (or equivalently, explicitly returns
undefined), the value is ignored. - Setting the
keepdimsoption totruecan be useful when wanting to ensure that the output ndarray is broadcast-compatible with ndarrays having the same shape as the input ndarray. - The output data type policy only applies to the main function and specifies that, by default, the function must return an ndarray having a real-valued or "generic" data type. For the
assignmethod, the output ndarray is allowed to have any supported output data type.
