      Builds the convex hull from the set of input points.
      Parameters:
        `points` - the set of input points
      Returns:
        the convex hull
      Throws:
        `NullArgumentException` - if the input collection is `null`
        `ConvergenceException` - if generator fails to generate a convex hull for the given set of input points
