Math people: If I have a bunch of sampled data that I've found a local maximum on, and I want to interpolate the peak location to sub-sample precision, what's a good way to do that?
I know how to interpolate a zero crossing linearly but this is a bit more complex, I feel like I'll probably want to fit a sinc or gaussian or something to the data somehow?
