En jämförelse av regressioner med binära utfall
The purpose of this bachelor thesis was to compare three different methods for regression with binary outcomes. The three methods used for comparison are: Linear Probability Model, Logit and Probit. To compare the methods, data gathered from the World Value Survey when it last was done in Sweden in...
