Compute coordinate profile sup functions
getMax(x, f, fprime, coord, d, options = NULL)one dimensional point where the function is to be evaluated
function to be optimized (takes a vector y of dimension d and returns a real number)
derivative of f (same format)
integer selecting the dimension that is fixed, the other ones are optimized over
dimension of the input for f
a list containing the options to be passed to optim:
par:contains the starting point (a point in dimension d-1)
method: is the string denoting the chosen method for the optimization (see optim for details)
lower: the lower bounds for the optimization domain (see optim for details)
upper:the upper bounds for the optimization domain (see optim for details)
a real value corresponding to \(max_{x_1,\dots, x_{coord-1},x_{coord+1}, \dots, x_d} f(x_1,\dots,x_d)\)
