Replace numpy.amax and numpy.amin with numpy.max and numpy.min throughout

[edbennett]

Per the discussion in #1117, this PR instead replaces all instances of numpy.amax and numpy.amin with numpy.max and numpy.min respectively. This matches the current recommended and most common convention for computing the maximum and minimum with Numpy, and avoids a source of cognitive load.

Since I had already recreated the illustration for #1117, this also redraws the previously PNG figure as an SVG.

What does this mean?

If you have source files that require output and figures to be generated (e.g. R Markdown), then it is important to make sure the generated figures and output are reproducible.

This output provides a way for you to inspect the output in a diff-friendly manner so that it's easy to see the changes that occur due to new software versions or randomisation.
