Element by element minimums of two data objects matrices.
Syntax: @emin(m1, m2)
m1: numeric or alphanumeric object
m2: numeric or alphanumeric object
Return: vector or matrix object
Returns the element minimum of the conformable matrices m1 and m2.
Examples
Suppose there are n individuals deciding between two courses of action. Let L1 be an n-vector whose i-th element represents the loss the i-th individual experiences from taking the first action. Define L2 similarly. Then
= @emin(l1, l2)
returns an n-vector of losses that results from each individual taking the course of action that minimizes loss.
