This chapter discusses the use of probit and logit models for binary dependent variables that take on values of either 0 or 1. Probit and logit models are used to estimate the probability of an event occurring, such as purchasing a product, as a function of independent variables through the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal or logistic distribution. Maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameters of the probit and logit models.
