how to write argmax in latex
to write argmax with respect to some variable (i.e. theta), code:
\arg\max_\theta
i keep forgetting how i get computer stuff working (my memory is about as robust as a geriatric's bladder). this blog will be like adult diapers for my brain.

Nice blog for LATEX stuff. Keep it up!

The above works quite well though it leaves an extra space between the ARG and MAX. To avoid it use the negative space command:
\arg \! \max_\theta
hth!
cool tip! learned my new trick of the day :)
Nice tip!
An very useful at this precise moment :)
you are #1 when one googles "argmax latex"
you saved me from opening the stupid latex manual
with this solution the subscripted variable will appear centered beneath the word "max", instead of centered beneath the whole word. i found a way to solve this on wikipedia:
place the following command in the header of your latex document:
\newcommand{\argmax}{\operatornamewithlimits{argmax}}
now you can use it like this:
\argmax_\theta
