===Sequential analysis=== Link<ref name="A sequential theory of psychological discrimination">{{cite journal|first1=S.

A.|last2= Heath|title = A sequential theory of psychological discrimination|doi = 10.1007/BF02291481}}</ref> created an extension of [[Wald's equation |Wald's theory]] of sequential analysis to a distribution-free accumulation of random variables until either a positive or negative bound is first equaled or exceeded.

This is the first proof that the logistic function may have a stochastic process as its basis. Link<ref name="The wave theory of difference and similarity">S. W. Link, The wave theory of difference and similarity (book), Taylor and Francis, 1992</ref> provides a century of examples of "logistic" experimental results and a newly derived relation between this probability and the time of absorption at the boundaries.
