Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Interpreting and Comparing Effects in Logistic, Probit and Logit Regression shows applied researchers how to compare coefficient estimates from regression models for categorical dependent variables in typical research situations. It presents a practical, unified treatment of these problems, and considers the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and when to use them.
MoreLong description:
Log-linear, logit and logistic regression models are the most common ways of analyzing data when (at least) the dependent variable is categorical. This volume shows how to compare coefficient estimates from regression models for categorical dependent variables in three typical research situations: (i) within one equation, (ii) between identical equations estimated in different subgroups, and (iii) between nested equations. Each of these three kinds of comparisons brings along its own particular form of comparison problems. Further, in all three areas, the precise nature of comparison problems in logistic regression depends on how the logistic regression model is looked at and how the effects of the independent variables are computed. This volume presents a practical, unified treatment of these problems, and considers the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and when to use them, so that applied researchers can make the best choice related to their research problem. The techniques are illustrated with data from simulation experiments and from publicly available surveys. The datasets, along with Stata syntax, are available on a companion website.
This book has very clear, pristine explanations of topics such as how DRMs work, great numerical methods for maximizing and specifying, and helpful explanatory tests and interpretative effects, all written at an intermediate level. The discussion of various ways of interpreting coefficients in each of the models is the most useful part of the text. While many other texts touch on the difficulties of interpreting coefficients and perhaps offer an approach or two, the authors of this volume thoroughly review multiple approaches common and unique to each of the models.
