Characterizations of the Logistic and Related Distributions
share
It is known that few characterization results of the logistic distribution were available before, although it is similar in shape to the normal one whose characteristic properties have been well investigated. Fortunately, in the last decade, several authors have made great progress in this topic. Some interesting characterization results of the logistic distribution have been developed recently. In this paper, we further provide some new results by the distributional equalities in terms of order statistics of the underlying distribution and the random exponential shifts. The characterization of the closely related Pareto type II distribution is also investigated.
