getMaxIndex

Return index of maximal/minimal/best element in numerical vector.

If x is empty or only contains NAs which are to be removed, -1 is returned.

getMaxIndex(x, ties.method = "random", na.rm = FALSE)

getMinIndex(x, ties.method = "random", na.rm = FALSE)

getBestIndex(x, minimize = TRUE, ...)

`x`	[`numeric`] Input vector.
`ties.method`	[`character(1)`] How should ties be handled? Possible are: “random”, “first”, “last”. Default is “random”.
`na.rm`	[`logical(1)`] If `FALSE`, NA is returned if an NA is encountered in `x`. If `TRUE`, NAs are disregarded. Default is `FALSE`
`minimize`	[`logical(1)`] Minimal element is considered best? Default is `TRUE`.
`...`	[any] Further arguments passed down to the delegate.

[integer(1)].

Function getBestIndex is a simple wrapper for getMinIndex or getMaxIndex respectively depending on the argument minimize.
