Interpreting Probability Models: Logit, Probit, and Other

Interpreting Probability Models: Logit, Probit, and Other Generalized Linear Models (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)

What is the probability that something will occur, and how is that probability altered by a change in an independent variable? To answer these questions, Tim Futing Liao introduces a systematic way of interpreting commonly used probability models. Since much of what social scientists study is measured in noncontinuous ways and, therefore, cannot be analyzed using a classical regression model, it becomes necessary to model the likelihood that an event will occur. This book explores these models first by reviewing each probability model and then by presenting a systematic way for interpreting the results from each.
