Logistic Regression with continuous dependent variable

Hi everyone, i would like to ask, how you perform logistic regression, if your dependent variable isn't binary as usually but continuous. I will be grateful for any advice.
Thank you

EDIT: dependent variable contains values between 0 and 1

That doesn't seem like a logistic regression problem then....or you bin it to make it binary.
You need to provide more details for a more detailed answer.

It is not, by definition, logistic regression with a continuous dependent variable.

While you could turn the dependent variable into a category, please don't do this, its not really a good idea.

If the response variable is a proportion that represents the proportion of successes in an Event/Trials experiment, use the Events/Trials syntax. For more options, see StatDave_sas's response on this other thread:
