Abstract

Binary response models are often applied in empirical marketing research where, for example, individuals or households can be classified as buyers and nonbuyers of certain products or as respondents and nonrespondents to direct mailing. One way to evaluate such models amounts to calculating the fraction of correctly classified cases, that is, the hit rate. This paper brings to the attention a simple test for the statistical significance of this hit rate. An application to a binary brand choice case serves as an illustration.
