This is part of a short series on the common life data distributions.
The Logistic distribution is univariate continuous distribution. This short article focuses on 7 formulas of the Logistic Distribution.
If you want to know more about fitting a set of data to a distribution, well that is in another article.
It has the essential formulas that you may find useful when answering specific questions. Knowing a distribution’s set of parameters does provide, along with the right formulas, a quick means to answer a wide range of reliability related questions.
Parameters
The location parameter, μ, is the mean, median, and the mode.
The scale parameter, s, is always greater than zero and is proportional to the standard deviation.
