1 ECO OE 4: Probt and Logt Models ECO OE 4 Mamum Lkelhood Estmaton of Bnary Dependent Varables Models: Probt and Logt hs note demonstrates how to formulate bnary dependent varables models for mamum lkelhood estmaton, and how to estmate by mamum lkelhood the two most common formulatons of such models, namely probt and logt models.. General Formulaton of Bnary Dependent Varables Models A conventonal formulaton of bnary dependent varables models relates the observed bnary outcome varable to an unobserved (or latent) dependent varable. he unobserved (or latent) dependent varable s assumed to be generated by a classcal lnear regresson model of the form + u () where: a contnuous real-valued nde varable for observaton that s unobservable, or latent; ( X X2 L Xk ), a K row vector of regressor values for observaton ; 0 2 L k ) (, a K column vector of regresson coeffcents; u an d random error term for observaton. ECO ote 4: Flename 452note4.doc Page of 7 pages
2 ECO OE 4: Probt and Logt Models he random error terms u are assumed to have zero condtonal means and constant condtonal varances for any set of regressor values : E ( u ) ( u ) E( u ) Var (2.) (2.2) In addton, the condtonal dstrbuton of the around ther zero condtonal mean. Symmetry around mean zero means that Pr( u a) Pr(u > a) u s assumed to be symmetrc Snce by defnton Pr( u > a) Pr(u a), symmetry means that Pr( u a) Pr(u a) or Pr( u a) Pr(u a). (2.3) he observable outcomes of the bnary choce problem are represented by a bnary ndcator varable that s related to the unobserved dependent varable as follows: f > 0 (3.) 0 f 0 (3.2) he random ndcator varable represents the observed realzatons of a bnomal process wth the followng probabltes: > Pr( ) Pr( > 0) Pr( + u 0) (5.) Pr( 0) Pr( 0) Pr( + u 0) (5.2) What s requred to estmate the coeffcent vector are analytcal representatons of the bnomal probabltes (5.) and (5.2). ECO ote 4: Flename 452note4.doc Page 2 of 7 pages

(4) he regresson functon s thus the condtonal mean value of the latent random varable for gven values of the regressors. he slope coeffcents j (j,, k) are the partal dervatves of the regresson functon (4) wth respect to the ndvdual regressors: E ( ) X j X j ( 0 + X + L+ jx X j j + L+ k X k ) j. 2. Analytcal Representaton of Bnomal Probabltes he bnomal probabltes > Pr( ) Pr( > 0) Pr( + u 0) (5.)

Symmetry of g(u) around mean zero means that ( a) g(a) and Pr ( u a) Pr( u > a) g Snce by defnton Pr. ( u a) G( a) and Pr( u a) Pr( u a) G(a symmetry of g(u) mples that G > ), ( a) G(a) or equvalently that ( a) G( a G ).
