statistics: y = logipdf (x, mu, sigma)

Logistic probability density function (PDF).

For each element of x, compute the probability density function (PDF) of the logistic distribution with location parameter mu and scale parameter sigma. The size of p is the common size of x, mu, and sigma. A scalar input functions as a constant matrix of the same size as the other inputs.

Both parameters must be reals and sigma > 0. For sigma <= 0, NaN is returned.

 ## Plot various PDFs from the logistic distribution
 x = -5:0.01:20;
 y1 = logipdf (x, 5, 2);
 y2 = logipdf (x, 9, 3);
 y3 = logipdf (x, 9, 4);
 y4 = logipdf (x, 6, 2);
 y5 = logipdf (x, 2, 1);
 plot (x, y1, "-b", x, y2, "-g", x, y3, "-r", x, y4, "-c", x, y5, "-m")
 grid on
 ylim ([0, 0.3])
