Logistic function
A logistic function or logistic curve is a common S-shaped curve (sigmoid curve) with equation
f(x) = \frac,
where
For values of x in the domain of real numbers from -\infty to +\infty, the S-curve shown on the right is obtained, with the ...
, a sigmoid function used in many fields

Logistic map
The logistic map is a polynomial mapping (equivalently, recurrence relation) of degree 2, often referred to as an archetypal example of how complex, chaotic behaviour can arise from very simple non-linear dynamical equations. The map was popula ...
, a recurrence relation that sometimes exhibits chaos
**
Logistic regression
In statistics, the logistic model (or logit model) is a statistical model that models the probability of an event taking place by having the log-odds for the event be a linear combination of one or more independent variables. In regression an ...
, a statistical model using the logistic function
**
Logit
In statistics, the logit ( ) function is the quantile function associated with the standard logistic distribution. It has many uses in data analysis and machine learning, especially in data transformations.
Mathematically, the logit is the ...
, the inverse of the logistic function
**
Logistic distribution, the derivative of the logistic function, a continuous probability distribution, used in probability theory and statistics
