Get the max value and indices of a fourth order tensor.

Hello, i created a function that gives the efficiency of a machine given 4 imputs. Each imput belongs to a vector so in the end i get a 4th order tensor. I'd like to write a function that finds the maximum value in the tensor and also returns it position (i.e indices). Any help would be appreciated.

If T is the array, then

[M,idx] = max(T(:))

will give the maximum value and linear index to that value.

You can then use ind2sub to get from the linear index to the subscript indices.

Thanks a lot! It worked perfectly.
