LOGISTIC

Logistic distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

Description

The function LO(), or equivalently Logistic(), defines the logistic distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss()

Usage

LO(mu.link = "identity", sigma.link = "log")
dLO(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)
pLO(q, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qLO(p, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rLO(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1)

Arguments

`mu.link`	Defines the `mu.link`, with "identity" link as the default for the mu parameter
`sigma.link`	Defines the `sigma.link`, with "log" link as the default for the sigma parameter
`x,q`	vector of quantiles
`mu`	vector of location parameter values
`sigma`	vector of scale parameter values
`log, log.p`	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
`lower.tail`	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x]
`p`	vector of probabilities.
`n`	number of observations. If `length(n) > 1`, the length is taken to be the number required

Details

Definition file for Logistic distribution.

f(y|mu,sigma)=(1/sigma)*exp((y-mu)/sigma)*((1+exp(-(y-mu)/sigma))^(-2))

for y=(-Inf,+Inf), μ=(-Inf,+Inf) and σ>0.

Value

LO() returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a logistic distribution in the gamlss() function. dLO() gives the density, pLO() gives the distribution function, qLO() gives the quantile function, and rLO() generates random deviates for the logistic distribution. The latest functions are based on the equivalent R functions for logistic distribution.

Note

mu is the mean and sigma*pi/sqrt(3) is the standard deviation for the logistic distribution
