The Logistic reliability growth model has an S-shaped curve and is given by [3]:
#REDIRECT [[Logistic]]
where  <math>b</math>  and  <math>k</math>  are parameters. Similar to the analysis given for the Gompertz curve (Chapter 7), the following may be concluded:
<br>
:1) The point of inflection is given by:
::<math>{{T}_{i}}=\frac{\ln (b)}{k}</math>
:2) When  <math>b>1</math>  then  <math>{{T}_{i}}>0</math>  and an S-shaped curve will be generated. However, w<math>%</math>hen  <math>0<b\le 1</math>  then  <math>{{T}_{i}}\le 0</math>  and the Logistic reliability growth model will not be described by an S-shaped curve.
<br>
:3) The value of  <math>R</math>  is equal to 0.5 at the inflection point.

==General Examples==
===Example 5===
Table 8.4 presents the reliabilities observed monthly for an automobile transmission that was tested for one year.
<br>
<br>
:1) Find a Logistic reliability growth curve that best represents the data.
:2) Plot it comparatively with the raw data.
:3) If design changes continue to be incorporated and the testing continues, when will the reliability goal of 99% be achieved?
:4) If design changes continue to be incorporated and the testing continues, what will be the attainable reliability at the end of January the following year?

====Solution to Example 5====
:1) Figure Loge21 shows the estimated parameters.
:2) Figure Loge22 displays the Reliability vs. Time plot.
:3) Using the QCP, Figure Loge23 displays when the reliability goal of 99% will be achieved.
:4) Figure Loge24 shows the reliability at the end of January the following year (i.e. after 20 months of testing and development).

===Example 6===
<br>
Table 8.5 presents the results for a missile launch test. The test consisted of 20 attempts. If the missile launched, it was recorded as a success. If not, it was recorded as a failure. Note that, at this development stage, the test did not consider whether or not the target was destroyed.

<br>
:1) Find a Logistic reliability growth curve that best represents the data.
:2) Plot it comparatively with the raw data.
:3) If design changes continue to be incorporated and the testing continues, when will the reliability goal of 99.5% with a 90% confidence level be achieved?
:4) If design changes continue to be incorporated and the testing continues, what will be the attainable reliability at the end of the 35th launch?

===Example 7===
<br>
Consider the data given for the missile launch test in Example 6. Now suppose that the engineers assigned failure modes to each failure and that the appropriate corrective actions were taken. <br>
Table 8.6 presents the data.
:1) Find the Logistic reliability growth curve that best represents the data.
:2) Plot it comparatively with the raw data.
:3) If design changes continue to be incorporated and the testing continues, when will the reliability goal of 99.50% be achieved?
:4) If design changes continue to be incorporated and the testing continues, what will be the attainable reliability at the end of the 35th launch?
