Syntax

perturbs = perturbations(obj)
perturbs = perturbations(obj,property)
perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'None')
perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Selection',values,probabilities)
perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Normal',mean,deviation)
perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Uniform',minVal,maxVal)
perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Custom',perturbFcn)

Description

example

perturbs = perturbations(obj) returns the list of property perturbations, perturbs, defined on the object, obj. The returned perturbs lists all the perturbable properties. If any property is not perturbed, then its corresponding Type is returned as "Null" and its corresponding Value is returned as {Null,Null}.

perturbs = perturbations(obj,property) returns the current perturbation applied to the specified property.

perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'None') defines a property that must not be perturbed.

example

perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Selection',values,probabilities) defines the property perturbation offset drawn from a set of values that have corresponding probabilities.

perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Normal',mean,deviation) defines the property perturbation offset drawn from a normal distribution with specified mean and standard deviation.

example

perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Uniform',minVal,maxVal) defines the property perturbation offset drawn from a uniform distribution on an interval [minVal, maxValue].

perturbs = perturbations(obj,property,'Custom',perturbFcn) enables you to define a custom function, perturbFcn, that draws the perturbation offset value.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Object to be perturbed, specified as an object. The objects that you can perturb includes:

Perturbable property, specified as a property name. For each object listed in obj, the corresponding perturbable properties are listed in More About.

Perturbation offset values, specified as an n-element cell array of property values. The function randomly draws the perturbation value for the property from the cell array based on the values' corresponding probabilities specified in the probabilities input.

Drawing probabilities for each perturbation value, specified as an n-element array of nonnegative scalars, where n is the number of perturbation values provided in the values input. The sum of all elements must be equal to one.

For example, you can specify a series of perturbation value-probability pair as {x1,x2,…,xn} and {p1,p2,…,pn}, where the probability of drawing xi is pi (i = 1, 2, …,n).

Mean of normal distribution, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix. The dimension of mean must be compatible with the corresponding property that you perturb.

Standard deviation of normal distribution, specified as a nonnegative scalar, vector of nonnegative scalars, or matrix of nonnegative scalars. The dimension of deviation must be compatible with the corresponding property that you perturb.

Minimum value of the uniform distribution interval, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix. The dimension of minVal must be compatible with the corresponding property that you perturb.

Maximum value of the uniform distribution interval, specified as a scalar, vector, or matrix. The dimension of maxVal must be compatible with the corresponding property that you perturb.

Perturbation function, specified as a function handle. The function must have this syntax:

offset = myfun(propVal)
where propVal is the value of the property and offset is the perturbation offset for the property.

Output Arguments

  • Property — Property names.
