I have multiple series, and in each one I want to find the maximum or minimum value and store it into a variable so at the end I have a matrix of maximums and a matrix of minimums. The problem is that some of the series appear to have more than one maximum (or minimum) and the program gives me an error message. How do I make Matlab return only the first of these values?

Assuming A = matrix of more than one dimensions
and you want max of whole matrix
A = [1,6,6;4,5,6];
max(max(A))
or
max(A,[],'all')

This is what the max and min function both do. Can you provide a minimal working example of what you have, what you want, and what you're doing now?

mx = max([-5, -6, -8, -7, 1, 6, 6, 5, -3, -4, -6, -9])
I think you're over-thinking it :)
