Description

Maximize a function given a table of values by quadratic interpolation.

Usage

maximizeQuadratic(y, x=1:ncol(y))

Arguments

y	numeric matrix of response values.
x	numeric matrix of inputs of the function of same dimension as y. If a vector, must be a row vector of length equal to ncol(y).

Details

For each row of y, finds the three x values bracketing the maximum of y, interpolates a quadatric polyonomial through these y for these three values and solves for the location of the maximum of the polynomial.

Value

numeric vector of length equal to nrow(y) giving the x-value at which y is maximized.
