The Heaviside step function is defined as::
- 0 if x < 0
- heaviside(x, h0) = h0 if x == 0
- 1 if x > 0
+ 0 if x1 < 0
+ heaviside(x1, x2) = x2 if x1 == 0
+ 1 if x1 > 0
- where `h0` is often taken to be 0.5, but 0 and 1 are also sometimes used.
+ where `x2` is often taken to be 0.5, but 0 and 1 are also sometimes used.
Parameters
----------
- x : array_like
+ x1 : array_like
Input values.
- $PARAMS
- h0 : array_like
- The value of the function at x = 0.
+ x2 : array_like
+ The value of the function when x1 is 0.
$PARAMS
Returns
-------
out : ndarray
- The output array, element-wise Heaviside step function of `x`.
+ The output array, element-wise Heaviside step function of `x1`.
