Operands to the logical AND (&&) and OR (||) operators must be convertible to logical scalar values. Use the ANY or ALL functions to reduce operands to logical scalar values.

Hi,
When you do comparison operators (< == > etc.) on an array, you get a logical array back indicating the response for each element, however, these if/else statements need a scalar value. My first guess would be to have a for loop and check for each element to do this.

You are passing a vector to your function.
Inside your function you are testing the entire vector at the same time. If the entire vector is less than 6, you return a scalar 0. If the entire vector >=6 && less than 11 then you apply a transformation to the entire vector. And so on.
Except, when you test an entire vector you are not permitted to use the && operator, which is reserved for testing scalar operations.
Maybe you want
elseif all(t>=6) && all(t<11)
... but probably not.
You have several choices:
  1. Ensure that you only ever call the function with a scalar
  2. Code with all() or any() to test the entire vector appropriately (not recommended)
  3. change the && to & (not recommended)
  4. Change the function entirely to use logical indexing
