probit

plural probits

1. mathematicsA unit, derived from a standard normal distribution, used in measuring the responses to doses.

   The only limitation of probit models is that they require normal distributions for all unobserved components of utility. […] In the current section, I describe three simulators that are applicable for probits of any form: accept–reject, smoothed accept– reject, and GHK.
