A commentary on the logistic distribution. tThe Legacy of Alladi Ramakrishnan in the Mathematical Sciences : 351-357.

This representation is used to calculate moments, moment generating function, and characteristic function of a logistic distribution. The same representation is also used to derive the logistic distribution as the scale mixture of a normal distribution. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Double exponentialGenerating functionsMomentsNormalScale mixtureSeries representationOthersNOT_IN_WOS
