Interpreting Probability Models

<p>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. </p>
