This function returns a random variate from the logistic distribution. The distribution function is,
p(x) dx = { \exp(-x/a) \over a (1 + \exp(-x/a))^2 } dxfor -\infty < x < +\infty.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for a logistic distribution with scale parameter a, using the formula given above.
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions P(x), Q(x) and their inverses for the logistic distribution with scale parameter a.
