You generally need about 8 to 10 times as many observations as you have variables.  You may be overfitting your data.  Proceed with caution.

Subject: st: probit model sample size

I want to know about the sample size for the probit model. If i have a
sample size of 300 and using 20 explanatory variables, after running
the model, I have carried various goodness-of-fit test. and the result
shows that our model fit the data.

should I use the probit model or not.

Thanks in advance.
