Analysis Of Type And Severity Of Traffic Crashes At Signalized Intersections Using Tree-based Regression And Ordered Probit Models
… Hierarchical tree-based regression (HTBR) and ordered probit models were used in the analyses. HTBR was used to create models for the expected number of crashes for collision type as well as injury level. Ordered probit models were only used to predict crash severity levels due to the ordinal …

Modelling football match results and testing the efficiency of the betting market
The research models football results using an ordered probit regression. The football market differs from that of horse racing in that it is typically fixed odds in nature. The betting prices generally remain unchanged in relation to bettor demand. Created by the bookmakers, this added risk …

Modeling and Analysis of Repeated Ordinal Data Using Copula Based Likelihoods and Estimating Equation Methods
… of this dissertation discusses the multivariate ordered probit model which is a likelihood method based on latent variables. We show that this latent variable model belong to a very general class of <em>Copula</em> models. We use the copula representation for the multivariate ordered probit model …

Persistent reservations in mining?
… Engineer, Labourer and Winding Engine Driver, an ordered probit regression is run producing little evidence to support the persistence. A White skill bias is noted and further investigated using Oaxaca decomposition. Observable skill sets such as education, experience, demographics and firm level …

Disaggregate Probabilistic Models to Predict Trip Generation Propensities and Mode Choice Behaviour
… automobile modes are predicted using a bivariate ordered probit approach which enables the determining of factors affecting the trip-generation propensity of each mode while establishing the correlation between their propensities. Further, a multinomial logit model is estimated to investigate the …

Intergenerational Transmission of Religion: Does Mother's Working Behaviour Make a Difference?
… belief and religious practice. Our bivariate probit model shows that a youth whose mother stayed at home during his childhood is more likely to have the same religious affiliation as her, even after controlling for various background factors. Furthermore, estimates using ordered probit …

Risk Aversion and Adoption of Conservation Agriculture Practices in Eastern Uganda
… to reduce soil erosion and sequester carbon. An ordered lottery selection was used to measure risk preferences and an ordered probit model was estimated. Thirty five percent of a random sample of 200 farmers in Tororo (and fifty three percent of 200 farmers in Kapchorwa) made lottery choices that …

Adoption of Integrated Pest Management Technologies: A Case Study of Potato Farmers in Carchi, Ecuador
… and 51 randomly selected farmers. Using an ordered probit model, the data were analyzed to identify determinants and constraints of adoption. Access to information through FFS was the main determinant of adoption of IPM, followed by field days, pamphlets, and exposure to FFS-participants. …

Economic Impacts of Integrated Pest Management in Developing Countries: Evidence from the IPM CRSP
… $0.03 to 3 million in Uganda. Additionally, an ordered probit analysis was conducted to determine the factors affecting adoption of IPM technologies in Bangladesh. The level of education, being a female, IPM training and awareness of pesticide alternatives were found to have positive and …

Fomc Dissenting: Is the Chairman Conducting the Music?
… Gerlach-Kristen and Meade use a multinomial probit to test Meyer's hypothesis, and their evidence supports this conjecture. Because the dependent variable here is naturally ordered, where a policymaker's preference is for tighter, unchanged, or looser interest rates, it is appropriate to …

The Economics Of Individual Philanthropy: Essays On Religiosity, And Charitable Giving By Married Couples
… levels of religiosity. The results of bivariate probit and tobit analyses show that religious people have a greater propensity to give and higher levels of giving to both religious and secular charitable organizations. A zero-inflated ordered probit model is used to analyze an individual donor’s …

The Effects of Program Attributes on Behavior Change for Healthy Weight for Healthy Kids Program in Virginia
… in Healthy Weight for Healthy Kids (HWHK). An ordered probit model was employed to study how these attributes affect dependent variables: Whole Grain, Fruits, Colored Vegetables, MyPlate, and Breathe Hard behavioral scores. The model assessed the probability of a participant having an improved …
