About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Cumulative Distribution Function

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Logistic distribution cumulative distribution function.

The cumulative distribution function for a logistic random variable is

$$F(x; \mu, s) = \frac{1}{1+e^{-\frac{x-\mu}{s}}}$$

where mu is the location parameter and s > 0 is the scale parameter.

Usage

import cdf from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-dists-logistic-cdf@esm/index.mjs';

You can also import the following named exports from the package:

import { factory } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-dists-logistic-cdf@esm/index.mjs';

cdf( x, mu, s )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a logistic distribution with parameters mu (location parameter) and s (scale parameter).

var y = cdf( 2.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns ~0.881

y = cdf( 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns 0.5

y = cdf( -1.0, 4.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.076

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( NaN, 0.0, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 0.0, NaN, 1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 0.0, 0.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

If provided s < 0, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( 2.0, 0.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

If provided s = 0, the function evaluates the CDF of a degenerate distribution centered at mu.

var y = cdf( 2.0, 8.0, 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

y = cdf( 8.0, 8.0, 0.0 );
// returns 1.0

y = cdf( 10.0, 8.0, 0.0 );
// returns 1.0

cdf.factory( mu, s )

Returns a function for evaluating the cumulative distribution function of a logistic distribution with parameters mu (location parameter) and s (scale parameter).

var mycdf = cdf.factory( 10.0, 2.0 );

var y = mycdf( 10.0 );
// returns 0.5

y = mycdf( 8.0 );
// returns ~0.269
