similar to: Performing negative binomial regression on data, using stepwise selection

Dear R-Help, My problem/bug came to light,when fitting a linear model using stepwise selection. I'd started with the straightfoward command step(lm(y~., dataset)) This worked fine, but because this starts with all the possible explanatory variables, it results in a model with too many explanatory variables. Hence I wanted to start with just a constant and do forward selection, to get a

Dear R-help members, I'd like to run a binomial logistic stepwise regression with ten explanatory variables and as many interaction terms as R can handle. I'll come up with the right R command sooner or later, but my real question is whether and how the criterion for the evaluation of the different models can be set to be the probability of the residual deviance in the Chi-Square

 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]]

Is there any way to perform stepwise Poisson regression with GEE in R? (I know, and agree that stepwise procedures are not best statistical practice. I have developed a model with 10 independent variables, my client want me to include 50 other independent variables. I, of course, don't what to do this. I am hoping that I can demonstrate that adding additional variables does not make a material

Hi all, I am running Stepwise logistic regression and i have : 1- Multiple covatiates included in each model (No missing data) 2- Genotype data (SNPs) about 500,000 . I partitioned the data to multiple files (there are missing data) I run the step by including all the covariates and one SNP at each model. but i got this message : number of rows in use has changed: remove missing values? In

Hi, Is there any facility in R to perform a stepwise process on a model, which will remove any highly-correlated explanatory variables? I am told there is in SPSS. I have a large number of variables (some correlated), which I would like to just chuck in to a model and perform stepwise and see what comes out the other end, to give me an idea perhaps as to which variables I should focus on. Thanks

Dear list, I would like to fit a negative binomial regression model as described in "Byers AL, Allore H, Gill TM, Peduzzi PN., Application of negative binomial modeling for discrete outcomes: a case study in aging research. J Clin Epidemiol. 2003 Jun;56(6):559-64" to my data in which the response is count data. There are also 10 predictors that are count data, and I have also 3

Dear list, I would like to know: 1. After I have used the R code (http://pscl.stanford.edu/zeroinfl.r) to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial model, what criteria I should follow to compare and select the best model (models with different predictors)? 2. How can I compare the model I get from question 1 (zero-inflated negative binomial) to other models like glm family models or a logistic

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

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

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(stepwise)' in R. Thanks for your help, Andy Taylor

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 stepwise function. I have tried simply

I have a question regarding doing forward stepwise regression using the step function and an lm model. I am trying to run a stepwise procedure that will add a predictor variable, one at a time, conduct an F test to determine whether or not to drop any previous terms, and terminate when no other predictors qualify to be added. Using the step function and looking at the example in the book, I

Dear forum members, hope you can understand my unprofessionell English.
