#' Probit Regression with Survey Weights
#'
#'  @param formula a symbolic representation of the model to be
#'   estimated, in the form \code{y ~ x1 + x2}, where \code{y} is the
#'   dependent variable and \code{x1} and \code{x2} are the explanatory
#'   variables, and \code{y}, \code{x1}, and \code{x2} are contained in the
#'   same dataset. (You may include more than two explanatory variables,
#'   of course.) The \code{+} symbol means ``inclusion'' not
#'   ``addition.'' You may also include interaction terms and main
#'   effects in the form \code{x1*x2} without computing them in prior
#'   steps; \code{I(x1*x2)} to include only the interaction term and
#'   exclude the main effects; and quadratic terms in the form
#'   \code{I(x1^2)}.
#' @param model the name of a statistical model to estimate.
#'   For a list of other supported models and their documentation see:
#'   \url{http://docs.zeligproject.org/articles/}.
#' @param data the name of a data frame containing the variables
#'   referenced in the formula or a list of multiply imputed data frames
#'   each having the same variable names and row numbers (created by
#'   \code{Amelia} or \code{\link{to_zelig_mi}}).
#' @param ... additional arguments passed to \code{zelig},
#'   relevant for the model to be estimated.
#' @param by a factor variable contained in \code{data}. If supplied,
#'   \code{zelig} will subset
#'   the data frame based on the levels in the \code{by} variable, and
#'   estimate a model for each subset. This can save a considerable amount of
#'   effort. You may also use \code{by} to run models using MatchIt
#'   subclasses.
#' @param cite If is set to 'TRUE' (default), the model citation will be printed
#'   to the console.
#' @param below: point at which the dependent variable is censored from below.
#'     If the dependent variable is only censored from above, set \code{below = -Inf}.
#'     The default value is 0.
#' @param above: point at which the dependent variable is censored from above.
#'      If the dependent variable is only censored from below, set \code{above = Inf}.
#'      The default value is \code{Inf}.
#' @details
#' Additional parameters avaialable to this model include:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item weights: vector of weight values or a name of a variable in the dataset
#'   by which to weight the model. For more information see:
#'   \url{http://docs.zeligproject.org/articles/weights.html}.
#'   \item burnin: number of the initial MCMC iterations to be discarded (defaults to 1,000).
#'   \item mcmc: number of the MCMC iterations after burnin (defaults to 10,000).
#'   \item thin: thinning interval for the Markov chain. Only every thin-th
#'   draw from the Markov chain is kept. The value of mcmc must be divisible by this value.
#'   The default value is 1.
#'   \item verbose: defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, the progress of the sampler (every 10\%)
#'   is printed to the screen.
#'   \item seed: seed for the random number generator. The default is \code{NA} which
#'   corresponds to a random seed of 12345.
#'   \item beta.start: starting values for the Markov chain, either a scalar or
#'   vector with length equal to the number of estimated coefficients. The default is
#'   \code{NA}, such that the maximum likelihood estimates are used as the starting values.
#' }
#' Use the following parameters to specify the model's priors:
#' \itemize{
#'     \item b0: prior mean for the coefficients, either a numeric vector or a scalar.
#'     If a scalar value, that value will be the prior mean for all the coefficients.
#'     The default is 0.
#'     \item B0: prior precision parameter for the coefficients, either a square matrix
#'     (with the dimensions equal to the number of the coefficients) or a scalar.
#'     If a scalar value, that value times an identity matrix will be the prior precision parameter.
#'     The default is 0, which leads to an improper prior.
#'     \item c0: c0/2 is the shape parameter for the Inverse Gamma prior on the variance of the
#'     disturbance terms.
#'     \item d0: d0/2 is the scale parameter for the Inverse Gamma prior on the variance of the
#'     disturbance terms.
#' }
#' @return Depending on the class of model selected, \code{zelig} will return
#'   an object with elements including \code{coefficients}, \code{residuals},
#'   and \code{formula} which may be summarized using
#'   \code{summary(z.out)} or individually extracted using, for example,
#'   \code{coef(z.out)}. See
#'   \url{http://docs.zeligproject.org/articles/getters.html} for a list of
#'   functions to extract model components. You can also extract whole fitted
#'   model objects using \code{\link{from_zelig_model}}.
