It's hard to see how positions 4 and 14 correspond to 'peaks', they
look
like troughs to me. So perhaps this is what you mean:
> x <- c(14,15,12,11,12,13,14,15,16,15,14,13,12,11,14,12)
> y <- which(x == min(x))
> y
[1] 4 14
as a function:
somefunction <- function(x) which(x == min(x))

Subject: [R] peak finding
Hi all
Is there a function that can find the start and end position of peaks
in a
set of numbers.
eg.
x <- c(14,15,12,11,12,13,14,15,16,15,14,13,12,11,14,12)
y <- somefunction(x)
y
4 14
Thanks
John
