function [MaxPos,MaxVal]=locmax(Y)
% locmax  Local maxima.
% For a vector Y, locmax(Y) finds the local maxima, excluding endpoints.
%
% [MaxPos,MaxVal]=locmax(Y) returns the indices of the maximum values in
% vector MaxPos and maximum values in vector MaxVal

% maxima are located where the following criteria are true:
% 1) gradient is zero: 1st order difference is zero
% 2) negative curvature: 2nd order difference is less than zero

MaxPos=find(diff(diff(Y)<=0) & diff(Y,2)<0)+1;
MaxVal=Y(MaxPos);
