22Logistic Distribution

22.1 Logistic

A generalised form of the logistic distribution is described by

Depending on the sign of δ, the distribution is either lower‐bounded or upper‐bounded.

Figure 22.1 shows the effect of changing δ with α fixed at 0 and β at 1. Note that all the curves pass through the point (α, 0.25β). Fitting Equation (22.4) to the C4 in propane data gives α as 2.30, β as 1.27 and δ as 0.360. RSS is 0.0529, m\aking the distribution a relative poor choice.

x vs. f(x) displaying a bell curve for δ = 0, a right skewed-curve for δ = 0.7, and a left-skewed curve for δ = 0.5, illustrating the effect of changing of changing δ with α fixed at 0 and ϐ at 1.

As δ → 0, from Equation (11.4), we obtain the density functions ...
