The DM distribution is a one parameter family of logistic/log‐logistic distributions that was found empirically in comparative epidemiological research in the then Laboratory of Hygiene of the University of Amsterdam (project DE MORTIBUS Agez 3). It is of interest for mathematical statistics as a new family of distributions and for biology as a contribution to the understanding of variability and as a guide in goal‐directed experiments.
