pymc.LogitNormal

class pymc.LogitNormal(name, *args, rng=None, dims=None, initval=None, observed=None, total_size=None, transform=UNSET, default_transform=UNSET, **kwargs)

Logit-Normal log-likelihood.

The pdf of this distribution is

\[f(x \mid \mu, \tau) = \frac{1}{x(1-x)} \sqrt{\frac{\tau}{2\pi}} \exp\left\{ -\frac{\tau}{2} (logit(x)-\mu)^2 \right\}\]
