write sigmoid function for a dataset in matlab

To write a sigmoid function for a dataset in Matlab, you can use the following code:

main.m
% Define the sigmoid function
function output = sigmoid(z)
    output = 1./(1+exp(-z));
end

In the above code, we have defined a function sigmoid that takes an input vector z and applies the sigmoid function to it. The output of this function is another vector of the same size as z.

The key part of this implementation is the use of the exp function to calculate the exponential term in the sigmoid equation, and then the 1./(1+exp(-z)) to calculate the sigmoid function itself. This implementation takes advantage of vectorization to allow us to apply the sigmoid function to an entire dataset.

Here's an example of how you can use this function to apply the sigmoid function to a dataset:

main.m
% Load your dataset
load your_dataset.mat

% Define the sigmoid function
function output = sigmoid(z)
    output = 1./(1+exp(-z));
end

% Apply the sigmoid function
output = sigmoid(your_dataset);

In this example, replace your_dataset with the name of your actual dataset variable. The function takes the entire dataset as input, applies the sigmoid function to it using vectorization, and outputs the resulting array.
