Sigmoid

"""
This script demonstrates the implementation of the Sigmoid function.

The function takes a vector of K real numbers as input and then 1 / (1 + exp(-x)).
After through Sigmoid, the element of the vector mostly 0 between 1. or 1 between -1.

Script inspired from its corresponding Wikipedia article
