statistics: y = unifpdf (x, a, b)

Continuous uniform probability density function (PDF).

For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the continuous uniform distribution with parameters a and b, which define the lower and upper bounds of the interval [a, b]. The size of y is the common size of x, a, and b. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

 y1 = unifpdf (x, 2, 5);
 y2 = unifpdf (x, 3, 9);
 plot (x, y1, "-b", x, y2, "-g")
