	Ed231C: Probit Regression Models
		The term "probit' was coined in the 1930's by Chester Bliss and stands for probability unit.
		The interpretation of a probit coefficient, b, is that a one-unit increase in the predictor leads to increasing the probit score by b standard deviations.
		And the coefficient for female is interpreted to mean that the change from 0 to 1 increases the predicted probit index by.77 standard deviations.

	PA 765: Logit, Probit, and Log-linear Models
		Probit may be the more appropriate choice when the categories are assumed to reflect an underlying normal distribution of the dependent variable, even if there are just two categories.
		Probit coefficients correspond to the b coefficients in regression or the logit coefficients in logit or logistic regression.
		This means the probit coefficient measures the effect of the independent on the Z scores of the dependent.

	Multivariate Analysis UCR Sociology 203A Logit and Probit Example
		The logit and probit regression models regress a function of the probability that a case falls in a certain category of Y, on a linear combination of X variables.
		For example, the probit model would express the effect of a unit change in X on the cumulative normal probability that a women had a birth within a year.
		Logit and probit models use the method of maximum likelihood to fit functions of proportions of cases at each level of the X vector that have a score of "1" on the dependent variable.

		Probit and logit response models are fit to the data.
		Although the PROBIT procedure does not use the observations with the missing values to fit the model, it does give predicted values for all nonmissing sets of independent variables.
		The PROBIT procedure is used to fit a logistic regression model to the proability of subscription as a function of the variables AGE and SEX.

	Probit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In probability theory and statistics the probit function is the inverse cumulative distribution function, or quantile function of the normal distribution.
		The probit function may be expressed in terms of the inverse of the error function:

	Precision Farming Adoption by Florida Citrus Producers: Probit Model Analysis
		The binomial probit model in Equation 1 was estimated using 135 observations.
		Therefore, the probit model is better at predicting the dependent variable (73% correct prediction) compared to the naïve prediction (56%).
		Results from a probit analysis with decision to adopt as the dependant variable indicated that variables associated with age and moderate and maximum spatial variability were significant influences on the decision to adopt.

	PROBIT
		PROBIT obtains estimates of the linear probit model, where the dependent variable takes on only two values.
		The basic PROBIT statement is like the OLSQ statement: first list the dependent variable and then the independent variables.
		PROBIT also checks for complete or quasi-complete sample separation by one of the right hand side variables; such models are not identified.

		In general, the logit coefficients are larger than the probit coefficients by a factor of 1.7.
		Diagnostics: Diagnostics still have to be done to check that the assumptions of the probit analysis have not been violated, but these are different from the diagnostics done in OLS regression and they are often more tricky.

	Probit model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In statistics, a probit model is a popular specification of a generalized linear model, using the probit link function.
		Because the response is a series of binomial results, the likelihood is often assumed to follow the binomial.
		The parameters β are typically estimated by maximum likelihood.

		To get the coefficients for a classic probit analysis, you should increase the estimated constant by 5.
		It prints an Analysis of Deviance table, with one line for each term, representing a difference 2L(i) - 2L(i-1) where L(i) is the maximumized log likely for a model including terms 1 through i, plus the deviance of the complete model labeled as "ERROR1".

		The Gaussian qualitative choice model therefore came to be known as the }{\i Probit}{ model.
		In both models, a positive (negative) value of b indicates that the probability that Y is 1 increases (decreases) with X. However, the slope coefficients \'93b\'94 are otherwise not directly comparable between the two models.
		}{\i Threshold Probit and Logit.}{ Both the Probit and Logit models imply Prob(Y=1) approaches 0 for sufficiently small values of Z, and 1 for sufficiently large values of Z. This may be unre alistic in some situations.

		Note: The probit programs were updated in February 2006 to simplify comparisons of slopes and intercepts and calculating relative potency by including slopes, intercepts, and their standard errors and covariances in the output file for cutting and pasting into other programs.
		The PROBIT program is used to analyze bioassay data when multiple observations over time were made on the same groups of organisms at one dose of a stimulus.
		All information for complete reporting of probit analyses is provided by the program, including: the slopes and intercepts, with their variances and covariance; the chi-square for goodness-of-fit of the regression line; and lethal time values, with confidence limits.

		One way to see this is to look at the predicted probabilities for different values of x2 and x1, which you can get by using -prgen- from -spost- and create a graph of the predicted probability versus x2.
