Zero-inflated regression models have had wide application recently and have provenuseful in modeling data with many zeros. Zero-inflated Binomial (ZIB) regression model is an extension of the ordinary binomial distribution that takes into account the excess of zeros. In comparing the probit model to the logistic model, many authors believe that there is little theoretical justification in choosing one formulation over the other in most circumstances involving binary responses. The logit model is considered to be computationally simpler but it is based on a more restrictive assumption of error independence, although many other generalizations have dealt with that assumption as well. By contrast, the probit model assumes that random errors have a multivariate normal distribution. This assumption makes the probit model attractive because the normal distribution provides a good approximation to many other distributions. In this paper, we develop a maximum likelihood estimation procedure for the parameters of a zero-inflated Binomial regression model with probit link function for both component of the model. We establish the existency, consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. |
