numpy.nanargmax

numpy.nanargmax(a, axis=None) [source]

Return the indices of the maximum values in the specified axis ignoring NaNs. For all-NaN slices ValueError is raised. Warning: the results cannot be trusted if a slice contains only NaNs and -Infs.

Parameters:	a : array_like Input data. axis : int, optional Axis along which to operate. By default flattened input is used.
Returns:	index_array : ndarray An array of indices or a single index value.
