[R] grouping by consecutive integers

[Kevin J Emerson]

Let me clarify one thing that I dont think I made clear in my posting.
I am looking for the max, min and median of the indicies, not of the
time series frequency counts.  I am looking to find the max, min, and
median time of peaks in a time series, so i am looking for the
information concerning that. 

so mostly my question is how to extract the information of max, min, and
median of sequential numbers in a vector.  I will reword my original
posting below.
