Is there any way to get binary logistic regression output in normal units (like probit) rather than logits?

Kurt, are you talking about the coefficients, the predicted probabilities, or something else? Please clarify.

[I do not see the original post.] The UCLA site gives an example of running a Probit analysis using PLUM with a probit link: http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/spss/dae/probit.htm I don't think it is likely that you will find a logistic regression that offers the probit transformation instead of logit. The ancillary statistics that suit logit do not suit probit. -- Rich Ulrich > Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:04:32 -0700 > From: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: Binary logistic regression > To: [hidden email] > > Kurt, are you talking about the coefficients, the predicted probabilities, or > something else?

The B weights. The weights are logits, from which logistic probabilities may be obtained. I am asking if weights interpretable in terms of a normal, rather than logistic, distribution are obtainable.

Some Googling turned up the following pages that you may find helpful. They suggest that B_probit = B_logit / X, where X is somewhere between 1.6 and 1.8.

yes.
convert the logits back to probability p = logit/(1+logit) then convert p to z = probit by looking up z in standard normal tables p lgt z lgt/z 0.60 0.41 0.25 1.60 0.75 1.10 0.67 1.63 0.90 2.20 1.28 1.71 0.95 2.94 1.64 1.79 0.99 4.60 2.33 1.98 the ratio gets higher as p increase because normal drops like a stone as exp(-z^2) whereas logit drops like a leaf as exp(-z) best Diana > On 12 Jul 2016, at 23:02, Kurt Taube <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Is there any way to get binary logistic regression output in normal units > (like probit) rather than logits? > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/Binary-logistic-regression-tp5732698.html > Sent from the SPSSX Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ===================== > To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to > [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the > command.

I believe you mean something like this. MATRIX. SAVE MAKE(201,4,0)/ OUTFILE * / VARIABLES p logit z lgt_z. END MATRIX. COMPUTE logit=($CASENUM-101)/20. COMPUTE p= EXP(logit)/(1 + EXP(logit)). COMPUTE z=IDF.NORMAL(p,0,1). COMPUTE lgt_z=logit/z.

yes. i do it in excel - much easier can send file if needed

I meant the missing EXP functions and the IDF.NORMAL.
Using your sample points doesn't kick back p using your formula

Thank you all for your assistance. I knew I could adjust logistic output (e.g., by dividing the logit by approximately 1.7) to estimate normal parameters. I wanted to know if I could obtain normal parameters directly, and though I can come very close, the answer might be no. (I haven't tried PLUM yet.)
