Probit ("probability unit") regression is a classical machine learning technique that can be used for binary classification -- predicting an outcome that can only be one of two discrete values. For ...
and is the normal probability function. This is the likelihood function for a binary probit model. This likelihood is strictly positive so that you can take a square root of and use this as your ...
