“Apophenia is a free scientific computing library that provides functions on the same level as those of the typical stats package (such as probit, OLS, or singular value decomposition) but gives the user more flexibility to be creative in model-building.”
“Only by performing an occult statistical manipulation called “ordered probit estimates,” do the authors manage to tease out any trend at all, and it is a tiny one: “Women were one percentage point less likely than men to say they were not too happy at the beginning of the sample [1972]; by 2006 women were one percentage more likely to report being in this category.””

“Finally, we apply probit regressions in STATA to analyse the cross-sectional data coming from the aforementioned survey.”
“Guided by these general equilibrium comparative statics, we specified a simple logit (and probit) model to estimate the influence on the likelihood of a bilateral FTA between i and j of indexes for each country of "multilateral FTAs" and "ROW FTAs" -- in the spirit of Anderson and van Wincoop's (2003) "multilateral resistance" terms.”
“· OLS and family, discrete choice models like probit and logit, kernel density estimators, and other common models”
