Sigmoidal membership function

Syntax

y = sigmf(x,params)

Description

This function computes fuzzy membership values using a sigmoidal membership function. You can also compute this membership function using a fismf object. For more information, see fismf Object.

This membership function is related to the dsigmf and psigmf membership functions.

y = sigmf(x,params) returns fuzzy membership values computed using the sigmoidal membership function given by:

     f(x;ak,ck)=11+e−ak(x−ck)

To define the membership function parameters, specify params as the vector [a c].

Membership values are computed for each input value in x.

example

Examples

collapse all

Specify input values across the universe of discourse.

x = 0:0.1:10;

Evaluate membership function for the input values.

y = sigmf(x,[2 4]);

Plot the membership function.

plot(x,y)
xlabel("x")
ylabel("Degree of Membership")
ylim([-0.05 1.05])

A steep sigmoid curve starting near zero, rising sharply around x = 4, and leveling off close to 1 by around x = 6.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input values for which to compute membership values, specified as a scalar or vector.

Membership function parameters, specified as the vector [a c]. To open the membership function to the left or right, specify a negative or positive value for a, respectively. The magnitude of a controls the width of the transition area, and c defines the center of the transition area.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Membership value returned as a scalar or a vector. The dimensions of y match the dimensions of x. Each element of y is the membership value computed for the corresponding element of x.

Alternative Functionality

fismf Object

You can create and evaluate a fismf object that implements the sigmf membership function.

mf = fismf("sigmf",P);
Y = evalmf(mf,X);

Here, X, P, and Y correspond to the x, params, and y arguments of sigmf, respectively.
