Piecewise Linear Distribution

Evaluate and generate random samples from piecewise linear distribution

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ provides the PiecewiseLinearDistribution object with multiple object functions for working with the piecewise linear distribution. To learn about the piecewise linear distribution, see Piecewise Linear Distribution.

Topics

Piecewise Linear Distribution
The piecewise linear distribution creates a nonparametric representation of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) by linearly connecting the known cdf values from the sample data.
Nonparametric and Empirical Probability Distributions
Estimate a probability density function or a cumulative distribution function from sample data.
