Estimate Logistic Parameters — util_logistic_param_estimate • TidyDensity
Description: The function will return a list output by default, and if the parameter .auto_gen_empirical is set to TRUE then the empirical data given to the parameter .x will be run through the tidy_empirical() function and combined with the estimated logistic data. Three different methods of shape parameters are supplied: MLE MME MMUE

# Estimate Logistic Parameters

Source: `R/est-param-logistic.R`
`util_logistic_param_estimate.Rd`

The function will return a list output by default, and if the parameter `.auto_gen_empirical` is set to `TRUE` then the empirical data given to the parameter `.x` will be run through the `tidy_empirical()` function and combined with the estimated logistic data.

Three different methods of shape parameters are supplied:

- MLE

- MME

- MMUE

## Usage

    util_logistic_param_estimate(.x, .auto_gen_empirical = TRUE)

## Arguments

.x

  The vector of data to be passed to the function.

.auto_gen_empirical

  This is a boolean value of TRUE/FALSE with default set to TRUE. This will automatically create the `tidy_empirical()` output for the `.x` parameter and use the `tidy_combine_distributions()`. The user can then plot out the data using `$combined_data_tbl` from the function output.

## Value

A tibble/list

## Details

This function will attempt to estimate the logistic location and scale parameters given some vector of values.
