The Bernoulli model is one of the simplest models in statistics. Nevertheless, modeling the probability of “success” as a function of an explanatory variable is not obvious. In this talk I will discuss some functional forms that have been used in practice. The main focus will be on functions with R+ as domain and I will present a new class of functions suitable for modeling the “success” probability of binary responses.
