odds ratio

[Rodrigo Briceño]

Dear SPSS users. This is a more statistical question. Can anybody
provide me some insight about if it is possible to get odd ratios when
you run probit models?
I am clear that with logit specification ODDS ratio could be estimated
easily, but not sure about Probit.
Thanks

The probit link function is the inverse of the cumulative normal distribution.  As such, the exponeniated probit coefficients cannot be interpreted as odds ratios, as in logistic models.
