CTrapezoidMembershipFunction

Class for implementing a trapezoidal membership function with the X1, X2, X3 and X4 parameters.

Description

The function is formed using piecewise linear approximation. This is a generalization of the triangular function allowing you to assign a fuzzy set core as an interval. Such a membership function makes it possible to conveniently interpret optimistic/pessimistic assessments.

The function is used to set asymmetric membership functions of the variables with their most critical values defined within a certain interval.

Class methods

Class method	Description
X1	Gets and sets the value of the first point on the X axis.
X2	Gets and sets the value of the second point on the X axis.
X3	Gets and sets the value of the third point on the X axis.
X4	Gets and sets the value of the fourth point on the X axis.
GetValue	Calculates the value of the membership function by a specified argument.
