This function calculates the mid/spr distance between the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers contained in two matrixes, which should be given in the desired format. For this, the function first checks if the input matrixes R and S are in the correct form (tested by checkingTra).
Usage
DthetaphiTra(R, S, a = 1, b = 1, theta = 1/3)
Arguments
R
matrix of dimension r x 4 containing r trapezoidal fuzzy numbers characterized by their four values inf0,inf1,sup1,sup0. The function first calls checkingTra to check if the matrix R has the correct format.
S
matrix of dimension s x 4 containing s trapezoidal fuzzy numbers characterized by their four values inf0,inf1,sup1,sup0. The function first calls checkingTra to check if the matrix S has the correct format.
a
number >0, by default a=1. It is the first parameter of a beta distribution which corresponds to a weighting measure on [0,1].
b
number >0, by default b=1. It is the second parameter of a beta distribution which corresponds to a weighting measure on [0,1].
theta
number >0, by default theta=1/3. It is the weight of the spread in the mid/spr distance.
Value
The function returns a matrix of dimension r x s containing the mid/spr distances between the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers of the matrix R and the trapezoidal fuzzy numbers of the matrix S.
