Function Reference: pimf

Function File: y = pimf (x, params)
Function File: y = pimf ([x1 x2 ... xn], [a b c d])

For a given domain x and parameters params (or [a b c d]), return the corresponding y values for the pi-shaped membership function.

The argument x must be a real number or a non-empty vector of real numbers, and a, b, c, and d must be real numbers, with a < b <= c < d. This membership function satisfies: 

           0                             if x <= a
           2 * ((x - a)/(b - a))^2       if a < x <= (a + b)/2
           1 - 2 * ((x - b)/(b - a))^2   if (a + b)/2 < x < b
   f(x) =  1                             if b <= x <= c
           1 - 2 * ((x - c)/(d - c))^2   if c < x <= (c + d)/2
           2 * ((x - d)/(d - c))^2       if (c + d)/2 < x < d
           0                             if x >= d

which always returns values in the range [0, 1].

To run the demonstration code, type "demo pimf" (without the quotation marks) at the Octave prompt.

Example: 1

  

 x = 0:255;
 params = [70 80 100 140];
 y1 = pimf(x, params);
 params = [50 75 105 175];
 y2 = pimf(x, params);
 params = [30 70 110 200];
 y3 = pimf(x, params);
