Going from points to piecewise function

Ser Man
Posted 2 years ago

Hi, I am trying to go from a set of points to a piecewise function.

I use the following command, but I get only one large step , in the step-wise function.

points = {{1004.9591023489934`, 
    213.55957424496637`}, {998.3619966442955`, 
    297.1229131711409`}, {996.1629614093961`,

draupnerfun[t_] := 
 Piecewise[
  Table[{points[[i, 2]], points[[i, 1]] > t}, {i, Length[points]}], 0]
p0 = Plot[draupnerfun[t], {t, 570, 1005}]

and I got this

Evidently, this didn't work. What is wrong with this command?

Thanks

Sort By:

Here is one more approach - for calculating the range of each point I am using a one-dimensional VoronoiMesh[]:

points = SortBy[points, First];
xvals = List /@ points[[All, 1]];
vorm = VoronoiMesh[xvals];
ranges = MeshPrimitives[vorm, 1] /. Line -> Flatten;
func[\[FormalX]_] = Piecewise@MapThread[{#2[[2]], #1[[1]] < \[FormalX] < #1[[2]]} &, {ranges, points}]

The result is somewhat different from that of Gianluca - it depends on what you need.

This may work for you:

Clear[x];
f[x_] = Piecewise[
   Partition[Sort[points], 2, 
     1] /. {{a_?NumericQ, b_}, {c_, d_}} :> {b, a <= x < c}];
Plot[f[x], {x, 570, 1000}]

Thank you very much Gianluca! This works great!

Hi there,

something like this?

f = Interpolation[points, InterpolationOrder -> 0]
Plot[f[x], {x, Min[points[[All, 1]]], Max[points[[All, 1]]]}]

enter image description here

Cheers, Marco

Thanks Marco, however interpolation does not give me an analytic function, as Piecewise does.
