The Logit and Probit Models • When the transformation function F is the logistic function, the response probabilities are given by P( y i = 1 | x i ) = • And, when the transformation function F is the cumulative density function (cdf) of the standard normal distribution, the response probabilities are x ′ β x ′ β 1 i i 2 given by 1 − s P ( yi = 1 | xi ) = Φ ( xi′ β ) = ∫ Φ ( s ) ds = ∫ e 2 • The Logit and Probit models are almost identical (see the Figure next slide) and the choice of the model is arbitrary, bi although l h h llogit i model d l has h certain i advantages (simplicity and ease of interpretation) 1+ x i e ′ i e e β x′ β i − ∞ − ∞ 2π ds
