Principle of marginality

In statistics, the principle of marginality is the fact that the average (or main) effects, of variables in an analysis are marginal to their interaction effect—that is, the main effect of one explanatory variable captures the effect of that variable averaged over all values of a second explanatory variable whose value influences the first variable's effect.

Probit model

In statistics, a probit model is a type of regression where the dependent variable can take only two values, for example married or not married.
