I'm having a bit of trouble representing the following equation. equation

Some attempts I've made are below.

\begin{tabular}{c}
\centering
$x \Rightarrow \hat{x}$ \\ 
$\hat{z} = 
 \begin{cases}
 \hat{x} \times 2 & \text{if} x > 0\\
 0 & \text{if} x < 0 
 \end{cases}$ \\ 
$\hat{z} \Rightarrow z $ 
\end{tabular} 

Another unsuccessful option:

\begin{eqnarray}
x \Rightarrow \hat{x} \nonumber\\
\hat{z} = \begin{cases} \hat{x} \times 2 & \text{if} x > 0\\0 & \text{if} x 
 < 0\end{cases} \nonumber \\
\hat{z} \Rightarrow z \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}

Suggestions welcome.

The various align environments from the amsmath package are the most useful for aligning math content along one or more alignment points. Centering of math is most easily achieved by invoking display math via \[...\].

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\begin{aligned}
x &\Rightarrow \hat{x} \\ 
\hat{z} &= 
 \begin{cases}
 \hat{x} \times 2 & \text{if } x > 0\\
 0 & \text{if } x < 0 
 \end{cases} \\ 
\hat{z} &\Rightarrow z  
\end{aligned}
\]
\end{document}

    I surmise some of the upvotes are a reward for me refraining from mentioning stackengine. Oops. I guess I just blew it. Commented Sep 29, 2017 at 13:07
