# peak2peak

Maximum-to-minimum difference

## Syntax

``y = peak2peak(x)``
``y = peak2peak(x,dim)``

## Description

example

````y = peak2peak(x)` returns the difference between the maximum and minimum values in `x`.```

example

````y = peak2peak(x,dim)` computes the maximum-to-minimum differences of `x` along dimension `dim`.```

## Examples

Compute the maximum-to-minimum difference of a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz.

```t = 0:0.001:1-0.001; x = cos(2*pi*100*t); y = peak2peak(x)```
```y = 2 ```

Create a complex exponential with a frequency of $\pi /4$ rad/sample. Find the peak-to-peak difference.

```n = 0:99; x = exp(1j*pi/4*n); y = peak2peak(x)```
```y = 0.0000 + 1.4142i ```

Create a matrix in which each column is a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz with a different amplitude. The amplitude is equal to the column index.

Compute the maximum-to-minimum differences of the columns.

```t = 0:0.001:1-0.001; x = cos(2*pi*100*t)'*(1:4); y = peak2peak(x)```
```y = 1×4 2 4 6 8 ```

Create a matrix where each row is a 100 Hz sinusoid sampled at 1 kHz with a different amplitude. The amplitude is equal to the row index.

Compute the maximum-to-minimum differences of the rows, specifying the dimension equal to 2 with the `dim` argument.

```t = 0:0.001:1-0.001; x = (1:4)'*cos(2*pi*100*t); y = peak2peak(x,2)```
```y = 4×1 2 4 6 8 ```

## Input Arguments

collapse all

Input signal, specified as a vector, matrix, N-D array, or `gpuArray` object. For complex-valued inputs, `peak2peak` identifies the maximum and minimum in complex magnitude. `peak2peak` then subtracts the complex number with the minimum modulus from the complex number with the maximum modulus.

See Run MATLAB Functions on a GPU (Parallel Computing Toolbox) and GPU Support by Release (Parallel Computing Toolbox) for details on `gpuArray` objects.

Example: `sin(2*pi*(0:255)/4)` specifies a sinusoid as a row vector.

Example: `sin(2*pi*[0.1;0.3]*(0:39))'` specifies a two-channel sinusoid.

Data Types: `double` | `single`
Complex Number Support: Yes

Dimension to operate along, specified as a positive integer scalar. By default, `peak2peak` operates along the first array dimension of `x` with size greater than 1. For example, if `x` is a row or column vector, `y` is a real-valued scalar. If `x` is an N-by-M matrix with N > 1, `y` is a 1-by-M row vector containing the maximum-to-minimum differences of the columns of `x`.

Data Types: `double` | `single`

## Output Arguments

collapse all

Maximum-to-minimum difference, returned as a real-valued scalar, vector, matrix, N-D array, or `gpuArray` object.
