Logit and Probit models are used to analyze data that are :

  • A.Binary
  • B.Continuous
  • C.Missing
  • D.Used to analyze business cycles exclusively

Answer: A

Logit and probit models are used for binary data.

They model a dependent variable that takes two values, such as 1 if a household owns a house and 0 if not. The probability of the outcome is modelled through a cumulative distribution function, the logistic for logit and the standard normal for probit, which keeps predicted probabilities between 0 and 1, unlike the linear probability model.

Continuous dependent variables call for ordinary regression, missing data for imputation methods, and these models are not tied to business cycles.
