Logistic distribution
In
probability theory
and
statistics
, the
logistic distribution
is a continuous probability distribution. Its
cumulative distribution function
is the
logistic function
, which appears in
logistic regression
and
feedforward neural networks
. It resembles the
normal distribution
in shape but has heavier tails (higher
kurtosis
). The
Tukey lambda distribution
can be considered a generalization of the logistic distribution since it adds a shape parameter,
λ
(the
Tukey distribution
is logistic when
λ
is zero).
