dear R users, I have fit the lm() on a mtrix of responses. i.e M1 = lm(cbind(R1,R2)~ X+Y+0). When i use summary(M1), it shows details for R1 and R2 separately. Now i want to use stepAIC on these models. But when i use stepAIC(M1) an error message comes saying that dropterm.mlm is not implemented. What is the way out to use stepAIC in such cases. regards,

I would like test AICc as a criteria for model selection for a glm using stepAIC() from MASS package. Based on various information available in WEB, stepAIC() use extractAIC() to get the criteria used for model selection. I have created a new extractAIC() function (and extractAIC.glm() and extractAIC.lm() ones) that use a new parameter criteria that can be AIC, BIC or AICc. It works as

Hello R-Users,   I have one binary dependent variable and a set of independent variables (glm(formula,…,family=”binomial”) ) and I am using the function stepAIC (“MASS”) for choosing an optimal model. However I am not sure if stepAIC considers significance properties like Likelihood ratio test and Wald test (see example below).     > y <- rbinom(30,1,0.4) > x1 <- rnorm(30) > x2

Dear all, I cannot seem to get the R functions step or stepAIC to perform forward or stepwise regression as I expect. I have enclosed the example data in a dataframe at the end of this mail. Note rubbish is and rnorm(17) variable which I have deliberately added to the data to test the stepwise procedure. I have used wateruse.lm<-lm(waterusage~.,data=wateruse) # Fit full model

Dear List, I am having problems running stepAIC with a negative binomial regression model.  I am working with data on manta ray abundance, using 20 predictor variables.  Predictors include variables for location (site), time (year, cos and sin of calendar day, length of day, percent lunar illumination), oceanography (sea surface temp mean and std, sea surface height mean and std), weather (cos

Hi, i'm trying to apply StepAIC with coxph...but i have the same error: stepAIC(fitBMT) Start: AIC=327.77 Surv(TEMPO,morto==1) ˜ VOD + SESSO + ETA + ........ Error in dropterm.default(fit,scope$drop, scale=scale,trace=max(0, : number of rows in use has changed: remove missing values? anybody know this error?? Thanks.

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"? When would one use

I can only assume I'm betraying my ignorance here, but this is not what I would expect. I'm getting the following from a stepwise selection (with both step and stepAIC): > step(lm(sqrt(Grids)~ SE + Edge + NH), scope=~ (Edge + SE + NH)^2) Start: AIC= 593.56 sqrt(Grids) ~ SE + Edge + NH Df Sum of Sq RSS AIC <none> 2147.0 593.6 + Edge:NH 1

Hello all, I am trying to use stepwise procedure to select covariates in Cox model and use bootstrap to repeat stepwise selection, then record how many times variables are chosen by step() in bootstrap replications. When I use step() (or stepAIC) to do model selection, I got errors. Here is the part of my code for (j in 1:mm){ #<--mm=10 for (b in 1:nrow(reg.bs)){ #<--bootstrap 10

Hi, I am experiencing a baffling behaviour of stepAIC(), and I hope to get any advice/help on what went wrong or I'd missed. I greatly appreciate any advice given. I am using stepAIC() to, say, select a model via stepwise selection method. R Version : 1.7.1 Windows ME Many thanks and best regards, Siew-Leng ***Issue : When stepAIC() is placed within a function, it seems

Hello, I have some trouble using step() and stepAIC() functions. I'm predicting recruitment against several factors for different plant species using a negative binomial glm. Sometimes, summary(step(model)) or summary(stepAIC(model) does not select the best model (lowest AIC) but just stops before. For some species, step() works and stepAIC don't and in others, it's the opposite.

Hi all, I've experienced this problem using step() and stepAIC() when a name of a regressors has blanks in between (R:R1.7.0, os: w2ksp4). Please look at the following code: "x" <- c(14.122739306734, 14.4831100207131, 14.5556459667089, 14.5777151911177, 14.5285815352327, 14.0217803203846, 14.0732571632964, 14.7801310180502, 14.7839362960477, 14.7862217992577)

The birth weight example from ?stepAIC in package MASS runs well as indeed it should. However when I change stepAIC() calls to step() calls I get warning messages that I don't understand, although the output is similar. Warning messages: 1: In model.response(m, "numeric") : using type="numeric" with a factor response will be ignored (and three more the same.) Checked

Hi, I am trying to understand the alternative methods that are available for selecting variables in a regression without simply imposing my own bias (having "good judgement"). The methods implimented in leaps and step and stepAIC seem to fall into the general class of stepwise procedures. But these are commonly condemmed for inducing overfitting. In Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman

Hello I am not really a statistic person, so it's possible i did something completely wrong... if this is the case: sorry... I try to get the best GLM model (with the lowest AIC) for my dataset. Therefore I run a stepAIC (in the "MASS" package) for my GLM allowing only two-variable-interactions. For the output (summary) I got a model with 7 (of 8) variabels and 5 interactions and

SImplify your call to lm using the "." argument instead of manipulating formulas. > strt <- lm(y1 ~ ., data = dat) and you do not need to explicitly specify the "1+" on the rhs for lm, so > frm2<-as.formula(paste(trg," ~ ", paste(xvars,collapse = "+"))) works fine, too. Anyway, doing this gives (but see end of output)" bst <-

I'm attempting to select a model using stepAIC. I want to use a forward selection procedure. I have specified a "scope" option, but must not be understanding how this works. My results indicate that the procedure begins and ends with the "full" model (i.e., all 17 independent variables)...not what I expected. Could someone please point out what I'm not

It seems that if you build the formula as a character string, and postpone the "as.formula" into the lm call, it works. instead of frm1 <- as.formula(paste(trg,"~1")) use frm1a <- paste(trg,"~1") and then strt <- lm(as.formula(frm1a),dat) regards, Heinz Stephen O'hagan wrote/hat geschrieben on/am 23.08.2017 12:07: > Until I get a fix that works, a

Hello, I am using the function stepAIC (library MASS) to run a backward elimination on my linear regression. The new model stepAIC calculates contains coefficients that have a Pr(>|t|) value below 0.1, but I'd like to have only coefficients with 0.001 or below. How can I change the stop criterion for stepAIC, so that it is more strict? There is a parameter "steps", but it is

Hello, I am now running a multiple linear regression program, but I do not know the difference between the command step and stepAIC. Thanks. Maggie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
