The probability distribution possessing the distribution function F(x) = 1/1 + exp{-P(x)} is called the polynomial logistic distribution associated with polynomial P and denoted by PL(P). It has recently been introduced, as a generalization of the logistic distribution, by V. M. Koutras, K. Drakos, and M. V. Koutras who have also demonstrated the importance of this distribution in modeling financial data. In the present paper, for a random variable X similar to PL(P), the analytical properties of its characteristic function are examined, the moment-(in)determinacy for the powers X-m, m is an element of N and vertical bar X vertical bar(p), p is an element of (0, +infinity) depending on the values of m and p is investigated, and exemplary Stieltjes classes for the moment-indeterminate powers of X are constructed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPolynomial logistic distributioncharacteristic functionStieltjes classM-(in)determinate distributionArticleQ3304676690WOS:000390615200007
