The Logit and Probit Models • However However, the parameters of the two models are scaled differently. The parameter estimates in a logistic g regression g tend to be 1.6 to 1.8 times higher g than they are in a corresponding probit model. • The probit p and logit g models are estimated by y maximum likelihood (ML), assuming independence across observations. The ML estimator of β is consistent i and dasymptotically i ll normally ll distributed. di ib d However, the estimation rests on the strong assumption that the latent error term is normally distributed and homoscedastic. If homoscedasticity is violated, , no easy ysolution.
The Logit and Probit Models • Note: The response function (logistic or probit) is an S-shaped function, which implies a fixed change in X has a smaller impact p on the pprobability ywhen it is near zero than when it is near the middle. Thus, it is a non-linear response function. • How to interpret the coefficients : In both models, If b > 0 p increases as X increases If b
