Used as a growth curve and to model binary responses. Used in the fields of biostatistics and economics.
The logistic distribution is described by its scale and location parameters. The logistic distribution has no shape parameter, which means that the probability density function has only one shape.
The following graphs show the effect of the different values of the parameters on the logistic distribution.

The shape of the logistic distribution is similar to that of the normal distribution however; the logistic distribution has longer tails.
