The typical testing for equality of parameters across several response functions cannot be performed when the dependent variable is a probability. The authors investigate the pooling issues of the response function when the model is specified as a transformational logit. Various estimation methods are compared and an iterative generalized least squares procedure is proposed for testing the poolability of transformational logit response functions.
