Their respective link functions, the logistic function and the standard normal cumulative distribution function, are both sigmoid functions i. Probit estimation in a probit model, the value of x. In general, probit analysis is appropriate for designed experiments, whereas logistic regression is more appropriate for observational studies. The probit model can be expressed in terms of the shape and scale weibull distribution or location and scale all other distributions of the chosen distribution. Only a single model statement can be used with one invocation of the probit procedure.
