Generalized logistic distribution

${\displaystyle F(x;\alpha )={\frac {1}{(1+e^{-x})^{\alpha }}}\equiv (1+e^{-x})^{-\alpha },\quad \alpha >0.}$

The corresponding probability density function is:

${\displaystyle f(x;\alpha )={\frac {\alpha e^{-x}}{\left(1+e^{-x}\right)^{\alpha +1}}},\quad \alpha >0.}$

This type has also been called the "skew-logistic" distribution.

${\displaystyle F(x;\alpha )=1-{\frac {e^{-\alpha x}}{(1+e^{-x})^{\alpha }}},\quad \alpha >0.}$

The corresponding probability density function is:

${\displaystyle f(x;\alpha )={\frac {\alpha e^{-\alpha x}}{(1+e^{-x})^{\alpha +1}}},\quad \alpha >0.}$

${\displaystyle f(x;\alpha )={\frac {1}{B(\alpha ,\alpha )}}{\frac {e^{-\alpha x}}{(1+e^{-x})^{2\alpha }}},\quad \alpha >0.}$

Here B is the beta function. The moment generating function for this type is

${\displaystyle M(t)={\frac {\Gamma (\alpha -t)\Gamma (\alpha +t)}{(\Gamma (\alpha ))^{2}}},\quad -\alpha <t<\alpha .}$

The corresponding cumulative distribution function is:

${\displaystyle F(x;\alpha )={\frac {\left(e^{x}+1\right)\Gamma (\alpha )e^{\alpha (-x)}\left(e^{-x}+1\right)^{-2\alpha }\,_{2}{\tilde {F}}_{1}\left(1,1-\alpha$ ;\alpha +1;-e^{x}\right)}{B(\alpha ,\alpha )}},\quad \alpha >0.}

${\displaystyle f(x;\alpha ,\beta )={\frac {1}{B(\alpha ,\beta )}}{\frac {e^{-\beta x}}{(1+e^{-x})^{\alpha +\beta }}},\quad \alpha ,\beta >0.}$

Again, B is the beta function. The moment generating function for this type is

${\displaystyle M(t)={\frac {\Gamma (\beta -t)\Gamma (\alpha +t)}{\Gamma (\alpha )\Gamma (\beta )}},\quad -\alpha <t<\beta .}$

This type is also called the "exponential generalized beta of the second type".[1]

The corresponding cumulative distribution function is:

${\displaystyle F(x;\alpha ,\beta )={\frac {\left(e^{x}+1\right)\Gamma (\alpha )e^{\beta (-x)}\left(e^{-x}+1\right)^{-\alpha -\beta }\,_{2}{\tilde {F}}_{1}\left(1,1-\beta$ ;\alpha +1;-e^{x}\right)}{B(\alpha ,\beta )}},\quad \alpha ,\beta >0.}
