#' Finds the local maxima (peaks) in the given vector after smoothing the data
#' with a kernel density estimator.
#'
#' First, we smooth the data using kernel density estimation (KDE) with the
#' \code{\link{density}} function. Then, we find all the local maxima such that
#' the density is concave (downward).
#'
#' Effectively, we find the local maxima with a discrete analogue to a second
#' derivative applied to the KDE. For details, see this StackOverflow post:
