maximum_value(data)

Determines the largest value of a data set

Parameters

data (list of int or float) – List of numbers to analyze

Raises

  • TypeError – Argument must be a 1-dimensional

  • TypeError – Elements of argument must be integers or floats

Returns

maximum – Largest value from the data set

Return type

int or float

sorted_list(), minimum_value(), median_value()

Notes

  • Set of numbers: \(a_i = \{ a_1, a_2, \cdots, a_n \}\)

  • Maximum value of set: \(a_{max} \geq a_j, \forall a_j \in a_i\)

  • Sample Maximum

Examples

Import maximum_value function from regressions library
>>> from regressions.statistics.maximum import maximum_value
Determine the maximum of the set [21, 53, 3, 68, 43, 9, 72, 19, 20, 1]
>>> maximum_even = maximum_value([21, 53, 3, 68, 43, 9, 72, 19, 20, 1])
>>> print(maximum_even)
72
Determine the maximum of the set [12, 81, 13, 8, 42, 72, 91, 20, 20]
>>> maximum_odd = maximum_value([12, 81, 13, 8, 42, 72, 91, 20, 20])
>>> print(maximum_odd)
91
