Abstract

In this paper we discuss an extended form of the logistic distribution and refer to it as the reversed generalized logistic distribution. We study some moment properties, and derive exact and explicit formulas for the mean, median, mode, variance, coefficients of skewness and kurtosis, and percentage points of this distribution. In addition, we study its limiting distributions as the shape parameter tends to zero or infinity. We also discuss some possible applications in bioassays through logistic regression approach.
