Parameters¶
| Name | Description | Default | Range | Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
x0 |
x0 | 0 | \(\in \mathbb{R}\) | |
left_val |
left_val | 0 | \(\in \mathbb{R}\) | |
right_val |
right_val | 1 | \(\in \mathbb{R}\) |
Description¶
The step function applies a step function to the input value. The returned value is either left_val (\(=l_0\)) or right_val (\(=l_1\)), depending on whether the input falls left or right of the transition point \(x_{0}\).
\[
f\left( x \right)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}
{{l}_{0}}\quad,x<{{x}_{0}} \\
{{l}_{1}}\quad,x\ge {{x}_{0}} \\
\end{matrix} \right.
