Chapter 16 Models with Binary Dependent Variables An interesting group of applications uses a dependent variable (y) that takes the values of either 0 or 1 (a binary variable – commonly known as a dummy variable or indicator variable). Example A problem in transportation economics is to explain the choice between driving a car and taking the bus when commuting to work.

It distinguishes three levels of decision making: 1) Extensive problem solving – early stages of decision making in which the buyer has little information about brands and has not yet developed, well defined and structured criteria by which to choose among products (choice criteria). 2) Limited problem solving – in this more advanced stage choice criteria are well defined but the buyer is still undecided about which set of brands will best serve him. Thus, the consumer still experiences uncertainty

Amortization Math Analysis and Discrete Math – Sections 5.3 and 5.4 I. Warm-Up Problem Previously, we have computed the future value of an investment when a fixed amount of money is deposited in an account that pays interest compounded periodically. Often, however, people do not deposit money and then sit back and watch it grow. Rather, money is invested in small amounts at periodic intervals. Consider these problems: 1. Chrissy deposits $200 each year into a savings account that has an annual interest
