\title{ Find Peaks and Valleys In A Series }
\description{
Functions to find the peaks (tops) and valleys (bottoms)
of a given series.
}
\usage{
findPeaks(x, thresh=0)
findValleys(x, thresh=0)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{ a time series or vector }
\item{thresh}{ minimum peak/valley threshold }
}
\value{
A vector of integers corresponding to peaks/valleys.
As a peak[valley] is defined as the highest[lowest] value in a series,
the function can only define it after a change in direction
has occurred. This means that the function will always
return the first period \emph{after} the peak/valley of the
data, so as not to accidentally induce a look-ahead bias.
