statistics: p = loglcdf (x, mu, sigma)
statistics: p = loglcdf (x, mu, sigma, "upper")

Loglogistic cumulative distribution function (CDF).

For each element of x, compute the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the loglogistic distribution with mean 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, mu and sigma, must be positive reals and x is supported in the range [0,inf), otherwise NaN is returned.

p = loglcdf (x, mu, sigma, "upper") computes the upper tail probability of the log-logistic distribution with parameters mu and sigma, at the values in x.

Further information about the loglogistic distribution can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-logistic_distribution

OCTAVE/MATLAB use an alternative parameterization given by the pair μ, σ, i.e. mu and sigma, in analogy with the logistic distribution. Their relation to the α and b parameters used in Wikipedia are given below:

  • mu = log (a)
  • sigma = 1 / a

 p3 = loglcdf (x, log (1), 1/2);
 p4 = loglcdf (x, log (1), 1/4);
 p5 = loglcdf (x, log (1), 1/8);
