Dear Maarten, Ron, Joseph,

Thank you very much for the
useful commands and solutions.

I will learn how to do it
and try it.

What I would like to show:

(1) whether the curve is really rising up and 
 fallind down, instead of monotonously 
 rising/falling.

(2) whether the "x" (not "y") for the peak
   is significantly different, 
   when there are two or more of such curves,

Indeed there are some mathematical models
but, when I tried to apply them by "nl",
they did not converge.
