numpy.ma.min()

numpy.ma.min(obj, axis=None, out=None, fill_value=None) [source]

Return the minimum along a given axis.

Parameters:

Parameters:	axis : {None, int}, optional Axis along which to operate. By default, `axis` is None and the flattened input is used. out : array_like, optional Alternative output array in which to place the result. Must be of the same shape and buffer length as the expected output. fill_value : {var}, optional Value used to fill in the masked values. If None, use the output of `minimum_fill_value`.
Returns:	amin : array_like New array holding the result. If `out` was specified, `out` is returned.

axis : {None, int}, optional

Axis along which to operate. By default, axis is None and the flattened input is used.

out : array_like, optional

Alternative output array in which to place the result. Must be of the same shape and buffer length as the expected output.

fill_value : {var}, optional

Value used to fill in the masked values. If None, use the output of minimum_fill_value.

Returns:

amin : array_like

New array holding the result. If out was specified, out is returned.
