Usage
logit(p, percents=max(p, na.rm = TRUE) > 1, adjust)
Arguments
p
numeric vector or array of proportions or percentages.
percents
TRUE for percentages.
adjustment factor to avoid proportions of 0 or 1; defaults to 0 if there are no such proportions in the data, and to .025 if there are.
Details

Computes the logit transformation logit $=\log [p/(1-p)]$ for the proportion $p$. If $p=0$ or $1$, then the logit is undefined. logit can remap the proportions to the interval (adjust, 1 - adjust) prior to the transformation. If it adjusts the data automatically, logit will print a warning message.

Value

• a numeric vector or array of the same shape and size as p.

prob.axis

• logit
