LogisticFunction is sigmoid function, tending to 1 as x tends to infinity, to 0 as x tends to minus infinity, and with value 1/2 at x=0.

$$ \sigma(x) = \frac{e^x}{1 + e^x} $$

It is widely used in NeuralNetwork analysis to convert scores built from sums into Probability - not entirely a coincidence.
