Logit: Generalized Logit and Inverse Logit function

Description

Compute generalized logit and generalized inverse logit functions.

Usage

Logit(x, min = 0, max = 1)
LogitInv(x, min = 0, max = 1)

Arguments

x

value(s) to be transformed

min

Lower end of logit interval

max

Upper end of logit interval

Value

• Transformed value(s).

Details

The generalized logit function takes values on [min, max] and transforms them to span [-Inf,Inf] it is defined as:

$$y = log(\frac{p}{(1-p)})$$

where $$p=\frac{(x-min)}{(max-min)}$$

The generized inverse logit function provides the inverse transformation: $$x = p' (max-min) + min$$

where

$$p'=\frac{exp(y)}{(1+exp(y))}$$

Examples

x <- seq(0,10, by=0.25)
  xt <- Logit(x, min=0, max=10)
  cbind(x,xt)

  y <- LogitInv(xt, min=0, max=10)
  cbind(x,xt,y)
