Boxcar function
Published January 26th, 2008 in UncategorizedIn mathematics, a boxcar function is any function which is zero over the entire
real line except for a single interval where it is equal to a constant, A. The boxcar function can be expressed in terms of the uniform distribution as
- <math>\operatorname{boxcar}(x)= (b-a)A\,f(a,b;x),</math>
where f(a,b;x) is the uniform distribution of x for the interval [a, b].
As with most such discontinuous functions, there is a question of the value at the transition points. These values are probably best chosen for each individual application.
