xarray.Dataset.argmax#

Dataset.argmax(dim=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Indices of the maxima of the member variables.

If there are multiple maxima, the indices of the first one found will be returned.

Parameters:
  • dim (str, optional) – The dimension over which to find the maximum. By default, finds maximum over all dimensions - for now returning an int for backward compatibility, but this is deprecated, in future will be an error, since DataArray.argmax will return a dict with indices for all dimensions, which does not make sense for a Dataset.

  • keep_attrs (bool, optional) – If True, the attributes (attrs) will be copied from the original object to the new one. If False (default), the new object will be returned without attributes.

  • skipna (bool, optional) – If True, skip missing values (as marked by NaN). By default, only skips missing values for float dtypes; other dtypes either do not have a sentinel missing value (int) or skipna=True has not been implemented (object, datetime64 or timedelta64).

Returns:

result (Dataset)
