findmaxtulip: Implementation of Tulip Extreme Finding Estimator (TEFE)...

In RootsExtremaInflections: Finds Roots, Extrema and Inflection Points of a Curve

Description

For a curve that can be classified as 'tulip' a fast computation of its maximum is performed by applying Tulip Extreme Finding Estimator (TEFE) algorithm of [1].

Usage

findmaxtulip(x, y, concave = TRUE)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector for the independent variable without missing values
y	A numeric vector for the dependent variable without missing values
concave	Logical input, if TRUE then curve is supposed to have a maximum (default=TRUE)

Details

If we want to compute minimum we just set concave=FALSE and proceed.

Value

A named vector with next components is returned:

1. j1 the index of x vextor that is the left endpoint of final symmetrization interval

2. j1 the index of x vextor that is the right endpoint of final symmetrization interval

3. chi the estimation of extreme as x-abscissa

Note

Please use function classify_curve if you have not visual inspection in order to find the extreme type. Do not use that function if curve shape is not 'tulip', use either symextreme or findextreme.
