`numpy:nanmax`

source: /dev/numpy/build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/numpy/lib/_nanfunctions_impl.py :382

Signature

   def     nanmax (    a    ,    axis    =  None   ,    out    =  None   ,    keepdims    =  <no value>   ,    initial    =  <no value>   ,    where    =  <no value>     )

Summary

Return the maximum of an array or maximum along an axis, ignoring any NaNs. When all-NaN slices are encountered a RuntimeWarning is raised and NaN is returned for that slice.

Parameters

a : array_like: Array containing numbers whose maximum is desired. If a is not an array, a conversion is attempted.
axis : {int, tuple of int, None}, optional: Axis or axes along which the maximum is computed. The default is to compute the maximum of the flattened array.
out : ndarray, optional: Alternate output array in which to place the result. The default is None; if provided, it must have the same shape as the expected output, but the type will be cast if necessary. See ufuncs-output-type for more details.
keepdims : bool, optional: If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the original a. If the value is anything but the default, then keepdims will be passed through to the max method of sub-classes of ndarray. If the sub-classes methods does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.
initial : scalar, optional: The minimum value of an output element. Must be present to allow computation on empty slice. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.
versionadded 1.22.0
where : array_like of bool, optional: Elements to compare for the maximum. See ~numpy.ufunc.reduce for details.
versionadded 1.22.0

Returns

nanmax : ndarray: An array with the same shape as a, with the specified axis removed. If a is a 0-d array, or if axis is None, an ndarray scalar is returned. The same dtype as a is returned.

Notes

NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity. Positive infinity is treated as a very large number and negative infinity is treated as a very small (i.e. negative) number.

If the input has a integer type the function is equivalent to np.max.

Examples

import numpy as np
a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, np.nan]])

✓

np.nanmax(a)
np.nanmax(a, axis=0)
np.nanmax(a, axis=1)

✗

When positive infinity and negative infinity are present:

np.nanmax([1, 2, np.nan, -np.inf])
np.nanmax([1, 2, np.nan, np.inf])
