  2. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    A logistic function or logistic curve is a common S-shaped curve ( sigmoid curve) with the equation. where. , the value of the function's midpoint; , the supremum of the values of the function; , the logistic growth rate or steepness of the curve. [1] Standard logistic function where. For values of in the domain of real numbers from to , the S ...

  3. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    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 nonlinear dynamical equations.

  4. Loss functions for classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_functions_for...

    e. Bayes consistent loss functions: Zero-one loss (gray), Savage loss (green), Logistic loss (orange), Exponential loss (purple), Tangent loss (brown), Square loss (blue) In machine learning and mathematical optimization, loss functions for classification are computationally feasible loss functions representing the price paid for inaccuracy of ...

  5. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A sigmoid function is any mathematical function whose graph has a characteristic S-shaped or sigmoid curve . A common example of a sigmoid function is the logistic function shown in the first figure and defined by the formula: [1] Other standard sigmoid functions are given in the Examples section. In some fields, most notably in the context of ...

  6. Generalised logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_logistic_function

    The generalized logistic function or curve is an extension of the logistic or sigmoid functions. Originally developed for growth modelling, it allows for more flexible S-shaped curves. The function is sometimes named Richards's curve after F. J. Richards, who proposed the general form for the family of models in 1959.

  7. Heavy-tailed distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy-tailed_distribution

    the log-logistic distribution; the log-gamma distribution; the Fréchet distribution; the q-Gaussian distribution; the log-Cauchy distribution, sometimes described as having a "super-heavy tail" because it exhibits logarithmic decay producing a heavier tail than the Pareto distribution. Those that are two-tailed include:

  8. Logistic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the logistic distribution is a continuous probability distribution. Its cumulative distribution function is the logistic function, which appears in logistic regression and feedforward neural networks. It resembles the normal distribution in shape but has heavier tails (higher kurtosis ).

  9. Biological exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_exponential_growth

    Biological exponential growth is the unrestricted growth of a population of organisms, occurring when resources in its habitat are unlimited. Most commonly apparent in species that reproduce quickly and asexually, like bacteria, exponential growth is intuitive from the fact that each organism can divide and produce two copies of itself. Each ...
