NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Compute the standard logistic function.

The standard logistic function, also called the expit function, inverse logit, or sigmoid function, is defined as the logistic function with parameters (k = 1, x0 = 0, L = 1).

Standard logistic function.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-expit

Usage

var expit = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-expit' );

expit( x )

Computes the standard logistic function.

var v = expit( 0.0 );
// returns ~0.5

v = expit( 1.0 );
// returns ~0.731

v = expit( -1.0 );
// returns ~0.269

v = expit( Infinity );
// returns 1.0

v = expit( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var expit = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-expit' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = randu();
    console.log( 'expit(%d) = %d', x, expit( x ) );
}
