| #### D.15.10.3 getMaxPoints Procedure from library `maxlike.lib` (see maxlike_lib). Usage: getMaxPoints(Iu, H, prec [, "nodisplay"]); ideal Iu, matrix H, int prec, int k Iu the likelihood ideal, H the (modified) Hessian of the considered algebraic statistical model, prec the precision with which to compute the maximum likelihood estimates Return: ring: a complex ring R in which you can find the following two lists: - MPOINTS, points in which the loglikelihood function has a local maximum, and - LHESSIANS, the (modified) Hessians at those points also prints out the points in MPOINTS, unless a fourth argument is given Note: it is assumed that the likelihood ideal is 0-dimensional Example:
    LIB "maxlike.lib";
    ring r = 0,(x,y),dp;
    poly pA = -10x+2y+25;
    poly pC = 8x-y+25;
    poly pG = 11x-2y+25;
    poly pT = -9x+y+25;
    intvec u = 10,14,15,10;
    ideal I = pA,pC,pG,pT;
    ideal L = likeIdeal(I,u);
    matrix H = logHessian(I,u);
    def R = getMaxPoints(L, H, 50);
