How to get bin counts from max(histcount_plot)

3 views (last 30 days)
I have a histcount plot which uses two different vectors. I called them 'Peak' and 'Bin'. The 'Bin' is obviously bins and 'Peak' is the data that goes in each bin. So then I made a histcount; Cnts=histcounts(Peak,Bin). Now I need a way to find the peak that this histcount will give. By peak, I mean finding the highest count and then find the corresponding bin number. I then need to plot those along with the histcount which I can do using the 'hold' command. I'm just having a problem with finding the Bin number that has the highest counts.

Use the two-output version of max() applied to Cnts. The second output gives you bin number and you can use it to index bins to get the location

How do you use the two-output version of max(). Is it something like 'max(Cnts,Bin)'?

Nevermind, I figured it out. It works now. Thank you so much.

I would try:
find(N==max(N))

Note: this can give you multiple outputs, if the maximum happens to be duplicated.
