  `numpy.argmax`

  Notes

  This is the same as `ndarray.argmax`, but returns a `matrix` object where `ndarray.argmax` would return an `ndarray`.

  Examples

      >>> x = np.matrix(np.arange(12).reshape((3,4))); x
      matrix([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
              [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
              [ 8,  9, 10, 11]])
      >>> x.argmax()
      11
      >>> x.argmax(0)
      matrix([[2, 2, 2, 2]])
      >>> x.argmax(1)
      matrix([[3],
              [3],
              [3]])
