Probabilities.UniformPDF Method (double, double, double)

Uniform probability density function (PDF).

Syntax

Visual Basic

public static double UniformPDF(double x, double a, double b);

Parameters	Description
double x	Distribution domain, real value on closed interval [a,b].
double a	Distribution parameter, real value, defining distribution lower bound.
double b	Distribution parameter, real value, defining distribution upper bound.

Returns

the uniform probability density function (PDF) for value x using the parameters a and b. The parameter a must be smaller than parameter b, otherwise the result is NAN.

Remarks

The uniform probability density function is defined by the following equation:

where a and b define the interval on which uniform CDF is defined. Uniform distribution is perhaps the simplest distribution with which to work. It can be used do describe processes in which the events occur with equal or uniform probability.
