pandas.Series.argmax

Return the row label of the maximum value.

Deprecated since version 0.21.0.

The current behaviour of ‘Series.argmax’ is deprecated, use ‘idxmax’ instead. The behavior of ‘argmax’ will be corrected to return the positional maximum in the future. For now, use ‘series.values.argmax’ or ‘np.argmax(np.array(values))’ to get the position of the maximum row.

If multiple values equal the maximum, the first row label with that value is returned.

bool, default True

Exclude NA/null values. If the entire Series is NA, the result will be NA.

param axis

For compatibility with DataFrame.idxmax. Redundant for application on Series. *args, **kwargs Additional keywords have no effect but might be accepted for compatibility with NumPy.

return

Index Label of the maximum value.
