Binary response models are often applied in empirical marketing research where, for example, individuals or households can be classified as buyers and non-buyers of certain products or as respondents and non-respondents 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 brand test for the statistical significance of this hit rate. An application to a binary brand choice case serves as an illustration.
