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 \(x_{0}\).

\[ f\left( x \right)=\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{l}_{0}}\quad,x<{{x}_{0}} \\ {{l}_{1}}\quad,x\ge {{x}_{0}} \\ \end{matrix} \right. \]
