Probit model GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      In statistics, a probit model is a type of regression where the dependent variable can take only two values, for example married or not married. The word is a portmanteau, coming from probability + unit. The purpose of the model is to estimate the probability that an observation with particular characteristics will fall into a specific one of the categories; moreover, classifying observations based on their predicted probabilities is a type of binary classification model.
      A probit model is a popular specification for a binary response model. As such it treats the same set of problems as does logistic regression using similar techniques. When viewed in the generalized linear model framework, the probit model employs a probit link function. It is most often estimated using the maximum likelihood procedure, such an estimation being called a probit regression.


      Conceptual framework


      Suppose a response variable Y is binary, that is it can have only two possible outcomes which we will denote as 1 and 0. For example, Y may represent presence/absence of a certain condition, success/failure of some device, answer yes/no on a survey, etc. We also have a vector of regressors X, which are assumed to influence the outcome Y. Specifically, we assume that the model takes the form




      P
      (
      Y
      =
      1

      X
      )
      =
      Φ
      (

      X

      T


      β
      )
      ,


      {\displaystyle P(Y=1\mid X)=\Phi (X^{\operatorname {T} }\beta ),}


      where P is the probability and



      Φ


      {\displaystyle \Phi }

      is the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard normal distribution. The parameters β are typically estimated by maximum likelihood.
      It is possible to motivate the probit model as a latent variable model. Suppose there exists an auxiliary random variable





      Y




      =

      X

      T


      β
      +
      ε
      ,


      {\displaystyle Y^{\ast }=X^{T}\beta +\varepsilon ,}


      where ε ~ N(0, 1). Then Y can be viewed as an indicator for whether this latent variable is positive:




      Y
      =




      {



      1



      Y




      >
      0




      0



      otherwise







      }

      =




      {



      1



      X

      T


      β
      +
      ε
      >
      0




      0



      otherwise







      }



      {\displaystyle Y=\left.{\begin{cases}1&Y^{*}>0\\0&{\text{otherwise}}\end{cases}}\right\}=\left.{\begin{cases}1&X^{\operatorname {T} }\beta +\varepsilon >0\\0&{\text{otherwise}}\end{cases}}\right\}}


      The use of the standard normal distribution causes no loss of generality compared with the use of a normal distribution with an arbitrary mean and standard deviation, because adding a fixed amount to the mean can be compensated by subtracting the same amount from the intercept, and multiplying the standard deviation by a fixed amount can be compensated by multiplying the weights by the same amount.
      To see that the two models are equivalent, note that








      P
      (
      Y
      =
      1

      X
      )



      =
      P
      (

      Y




      >
      0
      )






      =
      P
      (

      X

      T


      β
      +
      ε
      >
      0
      )






      =
      P
      (
      ε
      >


      X

      T


      β
      )






      =
      P
      (
      ε
      <

      T


      β
      )



      by symmetry of the normal distribution

      β
      )






      {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}P(Y=1\mid X)&=P(Y^{\ast }>0)\\&=P(X^{\operatorname {T} }\beta +\varepsilon >0)\\&=P(\varepsilon >-X^{\operatorname {T} }\beta )\\&=P(\varepsilon

      In fact, if




      y

      i


      =

      {\displaystyle y_{i}=1}

      , then





      L

      .
      Since the observations are independent and identically distributed, then the likelihood of the entire sample, or the joint likelihood, will be equal to the product of the likelihoods of the single observations:






      L

      y

      )



      {\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}(\beta ;Y,X)=\prod _{i=1}^{n}\left(\Phi (x_{i}^{\operatorname {T} }\beta )^{y_{i}}[1-\Phi (x_{i}^{\operatorname {T} }\beta )]^{(1-y_{i})}\right)}


      The joint log-likelihood function is thus




      ln

      The estimator

      {\displaystyle \operatorname {E} [XX^{\operatorname {T} }]}

      , and therefore standard numerical algorithms for optimization will converge rapidly to the unique maximum.

      It can be shown that this estimator is consistent (as n→∞ and T fixed), asymptotically normal and efficient. Its advantage is the presence of a closed-form formula for the estimator.

      = Albert and Chib Gibbs sampling method

      =
      Gibbs sampling of a probit model is possible with the introduction of normally distributed latent variables z, which are observed as 1 if positive and 0 otherwise. This approach was introduced in Albert and Chib (1993), which demonstrated how Gibbs sampling could be applied to binary and polychotomous response models within a Bayesian framework. Under a multivariate normal prior distribution over the weights, the model can be described as









      β







      N


      (


      b


      0


      ,


      B


      0


      )





      z

      i





      x


      i


      ,

      β







      N


      (


      x


      i


      T



      β

      ,
      1
      )





      y

      i





      =


      {



      1



      if


      z

      i


      >
      0




      0



      otherwise













      {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\boldsymbol {\beta }}&\sim {\mathcal {N}}(\mathbf {b} _{0},\mathbf {B} _{0})\\[3pt]z_{i}\mid \mathbf {x} _{i},{\boldsymbol {\beta }}&\sim {\mathcal {N}}(\mathbf {x} _{i}^{\operatorname {T} }{\boldsymbol {\beta }},1)\\[3pt]y_{i}&={\begin{cases}1&{\text{if }}z_{i}>0\\0&{\text{otherwise}}\end{cases}}\end{aligned}}}


      From this, Albert and Chib (1993) derive the following full conditional distributions in the Gibbs sampling algorithm:

      The result for




      β



      {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\beta }}}

      is given in the article on Bayesian linear regression, although specified with different notation, while the conditional posterior distributions of the latent variables follow a truncated normal distribution within the given ranges. The notation



      [

      z

      i


      <
      0
      ]


      {\displaystyle [z_{i}<0]}

      is the Iverson bracket, sometimes written





      I


      (

      z

      i


      <
      0
      )


      {\displaystyle {\mathcal {I}}(z_{i}<0)}

      or similar. Thus, knowledge of the observed outcomes serves to restrict the support of the latent variables.
      Sampling of the weights




      β



      {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\beta }}}


      given the latent vector




      z



      {\displaystyle \mathbf {z} }

      from the multinormal distribution is standard. For sampling the latent variables from the truncated normal posterior distributions, one can take advantage of the inverse-cdf method, implemented in the following R vectorized function, making it straightforward to implement the method.


      Model evaluation


      The suitability of an estimated binary model can be evaluated by counting the number of true observations equaling 1, and the number equaling zero, for which the model assigns a correct predicted classification by treating any estimated probability above 1/2 (or, below 1/2), as an assignment of a prediction of 1 (or, of 0). See Logistic regression § Model for details.


      Performance under misspecification



      Consider the latent variable model formulation of the probit model. When the variance of



      ε


      {\displaystyle \varepsilon }

      conditional on



      x


      {\displaystyle x}

      is not constant but dependent on



      x


      {\displaystyle x}

      , then the heteroscedasticity issue arises. For example, suppose




      y




      =

      β

      0


      +

      B

      1



      x

      1


      +
      ε


      {\displaystyle y^{*}=\beta _{0}+B_{1}x_{1}+\varepsilon }

      and



      ε

      x

      N
      (
      0
      ,

      x

      1


      2


      )


      {\displaystyle \varepsilon \mid x\sim N(0,x_{1}^{2})}

      where




      x

      1




      {\displaystyle x_{1}}

      is a continuous positive explanatory variable. Under heteroskedasticity, the probit estimator for



      β


      {\displaystyle \beta }

      is usually inconsistent, and most of the tests about the coefficients are invalid. More importantly, the estimator for



      P
      (
      y
      =
      1

      x
      )


      {\displaystyle P(y=1\mid x)}

      becomes inconsistent, too. To deal with this problem, the original model needs to be transformed to be homoskedastic. For instance, in the same example,



      1
      [

      β

      0


      +

      β

      1



      x

      1


      +
      ε
      >
      0
      ]


      {\displaystyle 1[\beta _{0}+\beta _{1}x_{1}+\varepsilon >0]}

      can be rewritten as



      1
      [

      β

      0



      /


      x

      1


      +

      β

      1


      +
      ε

      /


      x

      1


      >
      0
      ]


      {\displaystyle 1[\beta _{0}/x_{1}+\beta _{1}+\varepsilon /x_{1}>0]}

      , where



      ε

      /


      x

      1



      x

      N
      (
      0
      ,
      1
      )


      {\displaystyle \varepsilon /x_{1}\mid x\sim N(0,1)}

      . Therefore,



      P
      (
      y
      =
      1

      x
      )
      =
      Φ
      (

      β

      1


      +

      β

      0



      /


      x

      1


      )


      {\displaystyle P(y=1\mid x)=\Phi (\beta _{1}+\beta _{0}/x_{1})}

      and running probit on



      (
      1
      ,
      1

      /


      x

      1


      )


      {\displaystyle (1,1/x_{1})}

      generates a consistent estimator for the conditional probability



      P
      (
      y
      =
      1

      x
      )
      .


      {\displaystyle P(y=1\mid x).}


      When the assumption that



      ε


      {\displaystyle \varepsilon }

      is normally distributed fails to hold, then a functional form misspecification issue arises: if the model is still estimated as a probit model, the estimators of the coefficients



      β


      {\displaystyle \beta }

      are inconsistent. For instance, if



      ε


      {\displaystyle \varepsilon }

      follows a logistic distribution in the true model, but the model is estimated by probit, the estimates will be generally smaller than the true value. However, the inconsistency of the coefficient estimates is practically irrelevant because the estimates for the partial effects,




      P
      (
      y
      =
      1

      x
      )

      /



      x


      i






      {\displaystyle \partial P(y=1\mid x)/\partial x_{i'}}

      , will be close to the estimates given by the true logit model.
      To avoid the issue of distribution misspecification, one may adopt a general distribution assumption for the error term, such that many different types of distribution can be included in the model. The cost is heavier computation and lower accuracy for the increase of the number of parameter. In most of the cases in practice where the distribution form is misspecified, the estimators for the coefficients are inconsistent, but estimators for the conditional probability and the partial effects are still very good.
      One can also take semi-parametric or non-parametric approaches, e.g., via local-likelihood or nonparametric quasi-likelihood methods, which avoid assumptions on a parametric form for the index function and is robust to the choice of the link function (e.g., probit or logit).


      History


      The probit model is usually credited to Chester Bliss, who coined the term "probit" in 1934, and to John Gaddum (1933), who systematized earlier work. However, the basic model dates to the Weber–Fechner law by Gustav Fechner, published in Fechner (1860), and was repeatedly rediscovered until the 1930s; see Finney (1971, Chapter 3.6) and Aitchison & Brown (1957, Chapter 1.2).
      A fast method for computing maximum likelihood estimates for the probit model was proposed by Ronald Fisher as an appendix to Bliss' work in 1935.
