Abstract

The objective of this paper is to identify generalizations of logistic distribution through various methods for constructing the standard logistic distribution. Methods considered are based on transformations, Burr differential equation, mixtures and the difference of two distributed independent Gumbel random variables. For each method, distributions used are generalized. The generalized logistic distributions identified by Johnson [6] of Types I, II, III and IV, have their extended versions obtained. A new generalization namely “extended standard logistic distribution” has been introduced.
