Note(s): *, ** and *** denote degree of significance at 10%, 5% and 1% level, respectively. Number of observations = 434. For binary model: Hosmer and Lemeshow Test: Chi-square = 1.003**; −2 Log likelihood = 65.946; Cox and Snell R Square = 0.126; Nagelkerke R Square = 0.501 and for probit model: McFadden R-square = 0.470; Log likelihood = −32.637; Restr. log-likelihood = −61.616; overall accuracy (correctly predicted) = 96.5%
