checking: Checking correct data format
In SAFD: Statistical Analysis of Fuzzy Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

The function checks if the input data is of the correct form of a polygonal fuzzy number, i.e. a dataframe with the columns "x" and "alpha" fulfilling the following conditions: (1) alpha-values have to be in [0,1] with the minimum alpha-level being 0 and maximum being 1, (2) the x-values have to be non-missing and non-decreasing, (3) the alpha-levels have to increase from 0 to 1 and afterwards decrease from 1 to 0 in the same way (i.e. the alpha-column consists of an increasing vector from 0 to 1 plus the same vector in decreasing order). As a consequence the dataframe always has an even number of rows, see examples. The function is used internally in almost all the other functions to do a preliminary checking if the input data is of the correct form.

1	checking(X, com = 1)

`X`	...can be any data frame.
`com`	...numeric, if `com`=1 then, in case of an error, a comment is printed. By default `com`=1.

See examples

The function returns the value 1 if the input fulfills all conditions, if not, 0 is returned.

In case you find (almost surely existing) bugs or have recommendations for improving the functions comments are welcome to the above mentioned mail addresses.
