  2. Piecewise function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_function

    Plot of the piecewise linear function = {+. In mathematics, a piecewise function (also called a piecewise-defined function, a hybrid function, or a function defined by cases) is a function whose domain is partitioned into several intervals ("subdomains") on which the function may be defined differently.

  3. Piecewise linear function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_linear_function

    A piecewise linear function is a function defined on a (possibly unbounded) interval of real numbers, such that there is a collection of intervals on each of which the function is an affine function. (Thus "piecewise linear" is actually defined to mean "piecewise affine".)

  4. Piecewise property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_property

    A function property holds piecewise for a function, if the function can be piecewise-defined in a way that the property holds for every subdomain. Examples of functions with such piecewise properties are: Piecewise constant function, also known as a step function; Piecewise linear function; Piecewise continuous function

  5. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Linear interpolation on a data set (red points) consists of pieces of linear interpolants (blue lines). Linear interpolation on a set of data points (x 0, y 0), (x 1, y 1), ..., (x n, y n) is defined as piecewise linear, resulting from the concatenation of linear segment interpolants between each pair of data points.

  6. Step function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function

    In mathematics, a function on the real numbers is called a step function if it can be written as a finite linear combination of indicator functions of intervals. Informally speaking, a step function is a piecewise constant function having only finitely many pieces. An example of step functions (the red graph).

  7. Spline (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a spline is a function defined piecewise by polynomials. In interpolating problems, spline interpolation is often preferred to polynomial interpolation because it yields similar results, even when using low degree polynomials, while avoiding Runge's phenomenon for higher degrees.

  8. Segmented regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_regression

    Segmented regression, also known as piecewise regression or broken-stick regression, is a method in regression analysis in which the independent variable is partitioned into intervals and a separate line segment is fit to each interval. Segmented regression analysis can also be performed on multivariate data by partitioning the various ...

  9. Rectangular function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_function

    Rectangular function with a = 1. The rectangular function (also known as the rectangle function, rect function, Pi function, Heaviside Pi function, [1] gate function, unit pulse, or the normalized boxcar function) is defined as [2]
