Generalized logistic distribution (GLO) library

A package of the most common functions for the Generalized Logistic distribution (GLO)

You are now following this Submission

The Generalized Logistic distribution is an interesting alternative for extreme values modelization, like the GEV or Pearson 3 distributions (among others)

For the Generalized Logistic distribution distribution
-Estimate the parameters of the distribution for a given sample
-Compute the probability density function (pdf)
-Compute the cumulative distribution function (cdf)
-Compute the inverse of the cumulative distribution function
-Generate a random sample

The fitting of the parameters is based on the L-moment method from Hosking and Wallis (1997) :
