Re: handling NaN

[Schloegl Alois]

| Here is how I would solve this problem--one extra line of code, MATLAB
| compatible too:
| 
| 
| octave:14> f = [1 2 3 NaN]
| f =
| 
|     1    2    3  NaN
| 
| octave:15> idx = find(~isnan(f));
| octave:16> max(f(idx))
| ans = 3

But without using loops, is there also a way to do this along a
particular dimension of a matrix when each column/row/etc. may have a
different number of NaNs?

John, 

I guess this would do it:

f(isnan(f))=-inf;
max(f);
max(f');
