best approximation for double numbers
显示 更早的评论
I have the following function which has an asymptote for y = 1 :
syms f(x)
syms x
f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-((x + 8.4730) / 10 )));
So, so the function should have a value < 1 for all x.
Also using "format long", of course, from a certain value of x onwards, the result of the function is approximated to 1.
format long
double(f(400)) % ans = 1
Is there a way to get an approximation to the exact value for even larger x? Or should I settle for this approximation?

format long
syms f(x)
syms x
f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-((x + 8.4730) / 10 )))
vpa(f(400),100)

Try using vpa for large values of x
syms f(x)
syms x
f(x) = 1 / (1 + exp(-((x + 8.4730) / 10 )))
f1 = simplify(expand(1-f))
double(f1(400))
fplot(f1,[500 600])
f1n = matlabFunction(f1)
fplot(f1n, [500 600])
f1 gives you an idea of how quickly the value approaches 1, by showing you how quickly the difference between 1 and f falls. f1n shows that a numeric approximation (instead of a symbolic) of 1-f is still not bad at all in this kind of range.
