Abstract

This paper examines the construction and properties of the logistic inverse Gaussian distribution (a new distribution which has been proposed) using the generalized inverse Gaussian as a mixed distribution in a logistic mixture. The derivation is based on the properties of modified Bessel function of the third kind as a special function and transformations from the Barndorff-Nielsen and Jorgensen parametrizations.

It has been established that the logistic inverse Gaussian is a special case of the logistic generalized inverse Gaussian when $\lambda = - \frac{1}{2}$.  The log-likelihood and the posterior distributions have been constructed.
