FORMAT: [Y,IDX] = NANMIN(A,DIM,[B])
Minimum ignoring NaNs
This function enhances the functionality of NANMIN as distributed in the MATLAB Statistics Toolbox and is meant as a replacement (hence the identical name).
If fact NANMIN simply rearranges the input arguments to MIN because MIN already ignores NaNs.
NANMIN(A,DIM) calculates the minimum of A along the dimension DIM of the N-D array X. If DIM is omitted NANMIN calculates the minimum along the first non-singleton dimension of X.
NANMIN(A,[],B) returns the minimum of the N-D arrays A and B. A and B must be of the same size.
Comparing two matrices in a particular dimension is not supported, e.g. NANMIN(A,2,B) is invalid.
[Y,IDX] = NANMIN(X,DIM) returns the index to the minimum in IDX.
Similar replacements exist for NANMAX, NANMEAN, NANSTD, NANMEDIAN and NANSUM which are all part of the NaN-suite.
