1934 C. I. Bliss in Science 12 Jan. 38/1 These arbitrary probability units have been called ‘probits’.

1947 D. J. Finney Probit Anal. iii. 20 The probit of the proportion P is defined as the abscissa which corresponds to a probability P in a normal distribution with mean 5 and variance 1.

1991 R. Blundell et al. Taxation in Empirical Labour Supply Models (IFS Working Paper W91/9) 9 Note the regional childcare variables, drawn from Regional Trends, in the participation probit.

1934 C. I. Bliss in Science 4 May 409/2 It seems desirable..to redefine the probit unit as equal to 5 plus (algebraically) the deviate of the normal curve.

1958 Immunology 1 225 On transforming the per cent haemolysis into probit units and plotting these results against the reciprocal of the corresponding serum dilution, a linear relationship was obtained.

1997 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 352 1188/1 It is also feasible to combine a generalization of the probit unit that uses its y value to pick deterministically one of m possibilities with a generalization of the linear unit that has m different linear regimes.

1941 Biometrika 32 52 It will be necessary to group the data, and this will also be efficacious in obtaining a provisional probit line.

1968 Brit. Med. Bull. 24 248/1 An analysis of variance is given, from which it can be seen, for instance, whether a fit by a set of parallel probit lines is justified.

2000 Jrnl. Risk & Insurance 67 380 The greater concentration of distressed insurers at higher real-estate levels probably forces the logit and probit lines to slope upward.

1944 Psychometrika 9 31 This method of probit analysis gives the maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters.

1975 Jrnl. Royal Statist. Soc. C. 24 259 Probit analysis of dose-response curves and surfaces.

1993 Oxf. Econ. Papers 45 73 We then use the p variable as dependent variable in a probit analysis with independent variables t, σ, k, and P_t (where P_t is the relevant actual price).
