==Origin of terminology==
In a figure Verhulst described an usual exponential curve as "''logarithmique''", and created a new word "''logistique''" to describe a distinct curve he created by his formula which is now known as a logistic regression formula, but he didn't note through what derivation he created the word.
Description of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function#History Logistic function in Wikipedia is here].
