Hi, I haven't tested the difference between both functions, but I can say that peak_local_max and _prominent_peaks are used in several places internally. Another point I would like to make: recently, a scipy contributor added a beautiful function to detect peaks. I'm already using this feature in my code. The first PR is here: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/8264 Others are for performance enhancements. Maybe it would be useful to open an issue and kindly ask this contributor if he is willing to bring his experience on our code? Just a thought I had recently, independently of this topic. -- François Boulogne. http://www.sciunto.org GPG: 32D5F22F
