Abstract: We developed the software package MAVKA for the determination of characteristics of extrema (moment of extremum, magnitude) and their errors. The program realizes the application of 11 basic functions for approximation of extrema. We tested all these methods in two parts. In the first part we used generated data sets (various smooth curves with noise). We investigated deviations between generated and computed values of moments of extremum and magnitude, as well as execution time for different extrema parameters. In the second part we used real observations of different variable stars using photometric and visual observations from different databases.
