I am currently coding up a fuzzy logic library in java. I have found the equations for all the standard functions - Grade, inverseGrade, Triangle, Trapezoid, Gaussian. However, I can't find the inverse of the sigmoid/ logistic function.
The way I have written the logistic function is java is :
//f(x) = 1/(1+e(-x))
public double logistic(double x){
return (1/(1+(Math.exp(-x)));
}
But I can't work out or find the inverse anywhere. My algebraic/calculus abilities are fairly limited, hence why I haven't been able to work out the inverse of the function.
Any hints or pointers would be a big help.
Thanks
