## Type of Minimization/Maximization

### Description

Returns the type of optimization as supplied by the optimisation routine.

### Usage

      maximType(x)

### Arguments

`x` | object of class 'maxim' or another object which involves numerical optimisation.

`maxNR`

### Examples

    ## maximize two-dimensional exponential hat.  True maximum c(2,1):
    f <- function(a) exp(-(a[1] - 2)^2 - (a[2] - 1)^2)
    m <- maxNR(f, start=c(0,0))
    coef(m)
    maximType(m)
    ## Now use BFGS maximisation.
    m <- maxBFGS(f, start=c(0,0))
    maximType(m)
