Calculate maximum while treating infinite values as NA

Computes the maximum value of a numeric vector, converting any infinite values to NA. Useful for robust statistical calculations.

Usage

max_with_infinite_as_na(x, na.rm = T)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector

na.rm

Logical, whether to remove NA values before calculation (default: TRUE)

Value

Maximum value with infinite values converted to NA

Examples

x <- c(1, 2, 4)
max_with_infinite_as_na(x)  # Returns 4
#> [1] 4

y <- c(1, 2, Inf, 4, -Inf)
max_with_infinite_as_na(y)  # Returns NA (because of infinite values)
#> [1] NA
