18.8 Logistic distribution
18.8.1 Probability density function
If \(\mu \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\sigma \in \mathbb{R}^+\), then for \(y \in \mathbb{R}\), \[ \text{Logistic}(y|\mu,\sigma) = \frac{1}{\sigma} \ \exp\!\left( - \, \frac{y - \mu}{\sigma} \right) \ \left(1 + \exp \!\left( - \, \frac{y - \mu}{\sigma} \right) \right)^{\!-2} \! . \]
