Answer a & b.
Binary Choice Models: Binary Choice model is one of the discrete Choice Models. A binary decision helps choose between two alternatives available. Binary Choice Model is a statistical model whose primary objective is to know and understand the outcome of the binary decision taken.
Primarily, the estimation under Maximum Likelihood aims at measuring the "fit"of the model to the data. The ultimate objective is to predict the choice amongst the two options available.
Linear Model: We take help of Linear regression to create a linear model. It helps us denote a continuous response variable as a function of one or more predictor variables.
Probit Model: We take help of Probit regression to create a linear model. Probit regression is used to model binary outcome variables.In simple terms, the dependent variable under study can only take two values.
Logit Model: We take help of Logistic regression to create a linear model. It uses a logistic function to model a binary dependent variable.
Answer c.
Linear Regression formula:-
The below equation helps to derive the line of best fit.
y = a + bx
where
b = Sum { xi yi - nMean(x) Mean(y) } / { xi*xi - n Mean(x) * Mean(x) }
i = 1 to n
Probit regression:-
It is a special type of Generalised Linear Model. The bivariate outcome Y has a bernoulli distribution with paramter p.
EY = p.
The probit Link Function is:-
Probit(EY) = X , Where is a vector of unknown parameters
Answer d.
In estimating the linear choice model, what can we say about heteroscedasticity?
We refer to heteroscedasticity as a circumstance wherein the variability of a variable is unequal across the range of values of a second variable that predicts it. In simple terms , it means unequal scatter. It is referred in the context of the residuals or error term. OLS regression gives equal weight to all the observations , but when heteroscedasticity is present, the cases with larger disturbances have more pull than other observations.

2. Use the data in hpricel.wfl uploaded on Moodle for this exercise. We assume that all assump- tions of the Classical Linear Model are satisfied for the model used in this question. (a) Estimate the model and report the results in the usual form, including the standard error of the regression. Obtain the predicted price when we plug in lotsize - 10, 000, sqrft - 2,300, and bdrms- 4; round this price to the nearest dollar. (b) Run a regression...
The question asks: what model would you use? Briefly describe why you would use this model. What concerns, if any, would you have about the effectiveness of your model?

Playgrounds and Performance: Results Management at KaBOOM! (A) We do this work because we want to make a difference in the world; how can we go further faster? - Darell Hammond, CEO and co-founder, KaBOOM! Darell Hammond stepped onto the elementary school playground and took a long, slow look around. It was 8 a.m. on an unusually warm fall day in 2002 and the playground was deserted, but Hammond knew the children would start arriving soon to admire their new...
