Function Reference: smf

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

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

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

           0                                if x <= a
   f(x) =  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
           1                                if x >= b

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

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

Example: 1

  

 x = 0:100;
 params = [40 60];
 y1 = smf(x, params);
 params = [25 75];
 y2 = smf(x, params);
 params = [10 90];
 y3 = smf(x, params);
 figure('NumberTitle', 'off', 'Name', 'smf demo');
 plot(x, y1, 'r;params = [40 60];', 'LineWidth', 2)
 hold on;
 plot(x, y2, 'b;params = [25 75];', 'LineWidth', 2)
