invlogit {arm}

Logistic and Inverse logistic functions

Description

Inverse-logit function, transforms continuous values to the range (0, 1)

Usage

logit(x)
invlogit(x)

Arguments

x

A vector of continuous values

Details

The Inverse-logit function defined as: logit^-1(x) = e^x/(1+e^x) transforms continuous values to the range (0, 1), which is necessary, since probabilities must be between 0 and 1 and maps from the linear predictor to the probabilities

Value

A vector of estimated probabilities
