 Hi, Is there any function available to do stepwise selection of variables in Conditional(matched) logistic regression( clogit)? step, stepwise  etc are failing in case of conditional logistic regression. Please help.  Thanks P.T. Subha [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone, I am wondering if there exists a stepwise regression function for the Bayesian regression model. I tried googling, but I couldn't find anything. I know "step" function exists for regular stepwise regression, but nothing for Bayes. Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bayesian-regression-stepwise-...

Dear all, I have encountered a problem when perform stepwise regression. The dataset have more 9 independent variables, but 7 observation. In R, before performing stepwise, a lm object should be given. fm <- lm(y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X11 + X22 + X33 + X12 + X13 + X23) However, summary(fm) will give: Residual standard error: NaN on 0 degrees of freedom Mu...

Hi, S-PLUS includes the function "stepwise" which can use a variety of methods to conduct stepwise multiple linear regression on a set of predictors. Does a similar function exist in R? I'm having difficulty finding one. If there is one it must be under a different name because I get an error message when I try 'help(stepwis...

Dear all, I am wondering why the step() procedure in R has the description 'Select a formula-based model by AIC'. I have been using Stata and SPSS and neither package made any reference to AIC in its stepwise procedure, and I read from an earlier R-Help post that step() is really the 'usual' way for doing stepwise (R Help post from Prof Ripley, Fri, 2 Apr 1999 05:06:03 +0100 (BST)). My understanding of the 'usual' way of doing say forward regression is that variables whose p value d...

Hello, How can I run a backward stepwise regression with part of the variables fixed, while the others participate in the backward stepwise analysis?

Hello, I have a question pertaining to the stepwise regression which I am trying to perform. I have a data set in which I have 14 predictor variables accompanying my response variable. I am not sure what the difference is between the function "mle.stepwise" found in the wle package and the functions "step" or "stepAIC&...

Dear Gurus, Thank you in advance for your assistance. I'm trying to understand scope better when performing stepwise regression using "step." I have a model with a binary response variable and 10 predictor variables. When I perform stepwise regression I define scope=.^2 to allow interactions between all terms. But I am missing something. When I perform stepwise regression (both directions) on the main m...

...ond, Is it possible run the process( backward elimation) automatically? Third, I found the the linear part was listed "Pr(>|t|)" and the smoothing part " p-value". these two terms are the same meaning? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/About-stepwise-regression-problem-tp3870217p3870217.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, I would like to fit a linear model where some but not all explanators are chosen stepwise - ie I definitely want to include some terms, but others only if they are deemed significant (by AIC or whatever other approach is available). For example if I wanted to definitely include x1 and x2, but only include z1 and z2 if they are significant, something like this: df <- data.frame(y=c(...

I am using stepAIC for stepwise regression modeling. Is there a way to change the entry and exit alpha levels for the stepwise regression using stepAIC ? Many thanks, Berthold Berthold Stegemann Bakken Research Center Maastricht The Netherlands [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I wanna select the significant variables relative to bird distribution, using stepwise method. However, the result is always the best-fit model. Please kindly suggest if it is possible to show the selection process. Thank you Elaine [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have been using the step() function for stepwise regression and was wondering if there was a way to specify a tolerance level either using step() or another stepwise function. So far I have only found an option to specify tolerance in lm.fit() but I am not an experienced R user and am not quite sure if this command can be implemented using a ste...

I'm manually doing a form of stepwise regression in a mixed model but with many variables, it is time consuming. I thought I'd try to use an automated approach. stepAIC gave me false convergence when I used it with my model, so I thought it can't be hard to set up a basic program to do it based on the p-values. Thus I tried...

Hi, I know that is not possible make a stepwise procedure using REML in R, I can use ML for this. For nested design it may be very dangerous due the difference in variance structure, mainly in a splitplot design. ML make significative variables that REML dont make. I read an article that is made a stepwise procedure using GENSTAT. from art...

I use the step() function occasionally, and I think I understand its objective, proper use, and limitations. Now I see stepwise model selection being used in what seems to be an unusual way, and I wonder if it is right or wrong. May I describe? Genetic mapping tries to find where in an animal's genome are genetic elements that influence a particular physical trait. Say there are 100 individuals derived from a cr...

I try to reproduce the SAS proc reg stepwise model selection procedure in R, but the only function I found was "step" which select new variables based on AIC. The SAS procedure I use add a new variable to the model based on F statistics and a pre defined significant level. Then before any new variables are added variables in the mod...
