logit {secr} | R Documentation

## Logit Transformation

### Description

Transform real values to the logit scale.

### Usage

    logit(x)
    invlogit(y)

### Arguments

`x` | vector of numeric values in (0,1) (possibly a probability)
`y` | vector of numeric values

### Details

The logit transformation is defined as logit(x) = log(x/(1–x)) for x in (0,1).

### Value

Numeric value on requested scale.

### Note

`logit` is equivalent to `qlogis`, and `invlogit` is equivalent to `plogis` (both R functions in the stats package). `logit` and `invlogit` are used in secr because they are slightly more robust to bad input, and their names are more memorable!
