Rescoring the Montana Risk Assessment Instrument: A Comparison of Methods
… 31, 2010. The results are based on a Burgess model, a linear probability model, and a logistic regression model. The findings suggest that all three models increased the predictive accuracy of the RAI. The Burgess model and the logistic model showed the greatest improvement. When considering …

Antidepressant Persistence Before and After the Introduction of Online Renewal
… of the chosen methods, a mixed effects Cox model with a random intercept, i.e. a frailty model, and a linear probability model with a difference-in-differences estimator and patient fixed effects. While the results of the frailty models without time controls estimated that the hazard of …

Climate Variability Influences Women’s Attitudes Towards Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)
… in the domestic violence module. Using a linear probability model, we find prior year growing degree days (GDD), prior and current year rainfall variability have statistically significant effects. Most interestingly, we find that a one standard deviation (SD) rise in prior year annual …

Three essays on nonlinear panel data models and quantile regression analysis
… semiparametric fixed effects estimators for nonlinear panel data models. The first chapter focuses on fixed effects maximum likelihood estimators for binary choice models, such as probit, logit, and linear probability model. These models are widely used in economics to analyze decisions such as …

Risk, Religion, and Islamic Microfinance
… of taking up an Islamic microfinance loan, a linear probability model is utilized. Moreover, to create an index for measuring risk preferences and religiosity, both principal component analysis and summary index are used. Theories behind Islamic microfinance inherently suggest that it will …

AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MINORITY COMMAND LEADERSHIP ON THE RETENTION OF MINORITY SAILORS
… observed from fiscal years 1995 to 2018. Using a linear probability model and an ordinary least squares regression analysis approach, I analyze the first-term retention rates for minority enlisted sailors based on different levels of exposure to minority naval command leadership. This thesis found …

Maize response to fertilizer and fertilizer-use decisions for farmers in Ghana
… for increasing fertilizer use using a linear probability model. I find that fertilizer use has a positive and significant effect on maize yields in all models that I consider; despite this positive correlation, however, I find that fertilizer is not sufficiently profitable for the …

Strategic behavior in risky competitive settings
… I propose a novel and tractable structural model for ascending auctions with both common and private value components in which heterogeneous bidders exhibit loss aversion. Importantly, I find that loss averse bidders bid noticeably lower than risk neutral ones. I also consider a more general …

A study of factors affecting the occurrence of down syndrome in Negeri Sembilan Malaysia
… a standard statistical tool for analysis, probit model, linear probability model and multiple logistic model were used for analysing DS data against genetic and socio-demographic variables while simple logit and probit models were used to analyze DS data against maternal age. For each analysis, …

An empirical analysis of the effects of fertility on maternal health status in Namibia
… study estimated the Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) model to analyze the effect of socio-economic factors on fertility. Secondly, the Linear Probability Model (LPM) was employed to examine the effect of fertility on maternal health status. To account for possible endogeneity in the fertility variable …

Path and place : a study of urban geometry and retail activity in Cambridge and Somerville, MA
… in the context of location studies. We specify a linear probability model with a binary dependent variable and estimate how buildings' probabilities to accommodate retail establishments relate endogenously to other retailers' location choices and exogenously to both land use and urban form …
