Jan 28, 2014 at 16:19 comment added Timothée HENRY Thank you. And yes, y is a probability. I also posted the raw data in a related question: stats.stackexchange.com/questions/83576/…, although I called x what I called log(x) in the other question...

Jan 28, 2014 at 16:18 comment added whuber A comment by the OP, "The y values are probabilities of being of a certain class, obtained from averaging classifications done manually by people," suggests that logistic regression would be inappropriate for these data--although it might be a great solution for the raw data (as suggested in your first paragraph), depending on what the "classifications" are and how the "averaging" occurred. When applied to the data shown in the question, glm produces a relatively flat uncurved line that looks remarkably like the line shown in the question.
