The Logistic Distribution¶
-
gsl_ran_logistic
(a)¶ This function returns a random variate from the logistic distribution. The distribution is,
\[p(x) dx = { \exp(-x/a) \over a (1 + \exp(-x/a))^2 } dx\]for \(-\infty < x < \infty\).
-
gsl_ran_logistic_pdf
(x, a)¶ This function computes the probability density \(p(x)\) at \(x\) for a logistic distribution with scale parameter a, using the formula given above.
-
gsl_ran_logistic_P
(x, a)¶
-
gsl_ran_logistic_Q
(x, a)¶
-
gsl_ran_logistic_Pinv
(P, a)¶
-
gsl_ran_logistic_Qinv
(Q, a)¶ These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions \(P(x), Q(x)\) and their inverses for the logistic distribution with scale parameter
a
