Handbook of the Logistic Distribution (Statistics: a Series of Textbooks and Monographs)

This book highlights various theoretical developments on logistic distribution, illustrates the practical utility of these results, and describes univariate and multivariate generalizations of the distribution. It is useful for researchers, practicing statisticians, and graduate students. The logistic growth function was first proposed as a tool for use in demographic studies by Verhulst (1838, 1845) and was given its present name by Reed and Berkson (1929), two of the function's early enthusiasts.
