in reply to mathsy question: finding max of curve from discrete points
With this in mind, you can use the following method to find the maximum point:
This, of course, is an algorithm approximating a derivative, which is what you would want to do to find a maximum of a graph in the first place. However, since, as I've explained, the maximum will have to be on a data point, you should simply be able to sort the data points and get the maximum that way. I hope this helps at least somewhat.
