This has been on my list for a long time,

Moved from https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/235/

VSS has a good explanation of this: http://www.variablestarssouth.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59&Itemid=49

See also Grant Foster's "Analyzing Light Curves" and John Percy's "Understanding Variable Stars" books.

May be able to obtain extrema info from a Fourier model. Multiple extrema from a polyfit would also be nice.

Andrew Pearce has expressed interest in O-C and also pointed me to a Nov 2012 VSS article about model light curve fitting.
