Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1969, vol. 16, issue 1, 37-40

Abstract: Logistic distribution is widely used in describing biological, engineering, industrial, and various other types of data. In this paper it is shown that this distribution is a special case of a compound generalized extreme value distribution which is derived by compounding a generalized extreme value distribution with a gamma distribution. The paper contains several useful results relevant to these distribution functions.
