$sigmoid - Amazon DocumentDB
Services or capabilities described in AWS documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region, see the AWS European Sovereign Cloud User Guide.

$sigmoid

New from version 8.0.1.

The $sigmoid operator in Amazon DocumentDB applies the logistic sigmoid function, 1 / (1 + e^(-x)), to a numeric input. The function maps any real number to a value between 0 and 1, producing an S-shaped curve. This is useful when you need to normalize values into the 0–1 range, such as converting raw scores into probabilities or relevance scores.

Parameters

  • expression: An expression that resolves to a numeric value.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates how to use the $sigmoid operator to convert logit values into probabilities.

Create sample documents

db.predictions.insertMany([ {_id: 1, logit: -2}, {_id: 2, logit: 0}, {_id: 3, logit: 2} ]);

Query example

db.predictions.aggregate([ { $project: { probability: { $sigmoid: "$logit" } } } ]);

Output

[ {_id: 1, probability: 0.11920292202211755}, {_id: 2, probability: 0.5}, {_id: 3, probability: 0.8807970779778823} ]

Node.js
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb'); async function example() { const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster-endpoint>:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false'); try { await client.connect(); const db = client.db('test'); const collection = db.collection('predictions'); const result = await collection.aggregate([ { $project: { probability: { $sigmoid: "$logit" } } } ]).toArray(); console.log(result); } finally { await client.close(); } } example();
Python
from pymongo import MongoClient def example(): client = MongoClient('mongodb://<username>:<password>@<cluster-endpoint>:27017/?tls=true&tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false') try: db = client['test'] collection = db['predictions'] result = list(collection.aggregate([ {'$project': {'probability': {'$sigmoid': '$logit'}}} ])) print(result) finally: client.close() example()
