Finding peak in the Gaussian like function which Value is unknown.

Hi!

I want to find the peak in the Gaussian form of value.

But the difficulty is that the data is not given.

My pseudo code is below.

for i=1:n
    Value = Somefunction(); %it takes long time.(ex:1min)
    Values(i) = Value;
end

So, that code makes variable Values like gaussian(we know answer must be like gaussian).

But it takes too much time so I want to make the code like this.

while(1)
    Value = Somefunction(); %it takes long time.(ex:1min)
    if (the Value is the peak)
        break;
    end
end

Purpose is to reduce the iteration of the code.

Is that possible?

Thank your help.

Hi @Jae-Hee Park

Can you try if the findpeaks function works for your application?

You can also find some examples here:

@Sam Chak I checked this function but this function needs all data. My data is iterally generated.
