Element by element maximums of two data objects.
Syntax: @emax(m1, m2)
m1: numeric or alphanumeric object
m2: numeric or alphanumeric object
Return: vector or matrix object
Returns the element maximum of the conformable data objects m1 and m2.
Examples
Suppose there are n individuals deciding between two courses of action. Let U1 be an n-vector whose i-th element represents the utility the i-th individual derives from taking the first action. Define U2 similarly. Then
= @emax(u1, u2)
returns an n-vector of utilities that results from each individual taking the course of action that maximizes utility.
