I am studying statistical models and came across probit model. I want to understand the fundamental assumption behind this model. What does the probit model assume about the data and the relationship between variables?

The model provides a way to estimate the probability of the outcome being 1 given the values of the independent variables.

In this model, the dependent variable can only take two possible values: 0 or 1.

The primary assumption underlying probit regression is that the errors in the binary data follow a normal distribution.

This assumption allows for the use of probability theory in modeling the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.

Probit regression is particularly useful in situations where the outcome of interest is categorical, such as success or failure, yes or no, etc.
