uniformPDF

function uniformPDF(x, a, b)

Description:

Calculates the probability density function

of the uniform distribution on the interval at point .

Input arguments:

• real*8 :: x
  The point where to evaluate the probability density function of the uniform distribution.

Optional arguments:

• real*8 :: a
  The left endpoint of the interval on which the distribution exists. If not present, the function uses a = 0.
• real*8 :: b
  The right endpoint of the interval on which the distribution exists. If not present, the function uses b = 1. Note that needs to hold, otherwise the function throws an error message.

Return Value:

• real*8 :: uniformPDF
  The value of the density at x.
