where is the rectangular function.

The function is depicted in Figure 1, and is the piecewise-constant signal depicted in Figure 2.

Famous quotes containing the word model:

    Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair.
