Disclaimer as I am extremly new. I am trying to make a piecewise function but I get the error that a symbol is wrong? What am I doing wrong. Help is much appreciated!
g<-function(x){if ( x < 0) {
0
} else if ( x <= 1) {
x^2
} else if ( x >= 0) {
x^2
} else {
2x-1
}
}
As G. Grothendieck pointed out in the comment, you missed * in 2*x-1
Below are two variants for your piece-wise function
g1 <- function(x) pmax(ifelse(x > 1, 2 * x - 1, sign(x) * x^2), 0)
g2 <- function(x) ifelse(x > 1, 2 * x - 1, ifelse(x < 0, 0, x^2))
