Logistic and semi-logistic processes

open access: yesJournal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 1992
A random variable (r.v.) has a logistic distribution if its survival function is given by \({\left[1+\exp\bigl({X-\mu\over\sigma}\bigr)\right]^{-1}}\), \(x\in K\) where \(\mu\in K\) is a location parameter and \(\sigma>0\) is a scale parameter. Suppose \(X_ 1,X_ 2,\dots,X_ n\) are i.i.d. r.v.'s and \(N\) is an independent geometric r.v.
