Binary GLM history: The probit model was presented by Bliss (1935) and popularized in three editions of Finney (1971). Logistic regression was proposed by Berkson (1944)

as a model that has similar fit as a probit model but has closed form for the link function.

Yates (1955) proposed the complementary log–log link. The logistic model became more popular following publication of an influential article (1958) and text (1970) by D. R.

Cox, because of its direct interpretation in terms of odds ratios, validity in case-control studies, and availability of the conditional approach to eliminate nuisance parameters.
