[R] Is there a function for finding local extrema.

[Robert H Creecy]

Assuming the first and last values in the vector y can't be determined 
to be local maxima, try

 max<-1+which(( y[2:(n-1)] > y[1:(n-2)]) & (y[2:(n-1)] > y [3:n]))

max is now a vector of indicies of the local maxima, and y[max] are 
their values
