similar to: Stepwise regression scope: all interacting terms (.^2)

Dear R users, I have a data with 1000 variables named "x1", "x2", ..., "x1000", and I want to construct a formula like this format: ~x1+x2+...+x1000+x1:x2+x1:x3+x999:x1000+log(x1)+...+log(x1000) That is: the base variables followed by all interaction terms and all base feature log-transformations. I know I can use several paste functions to construct it. But is

Hi, I'm very new to R. I am most interested in the variable importance measures that result from randomForest, but many of my predictors are highly correlated. My first question is: 1. do highly correlated variables render variable importance measures in randomForest invalid? and 2. I know that cforest is robust to highly correlated variables, however, I do not have enough space on my

Hello: I am doing forward stepwise analysis on the glm model. I am trying to use model operator in the "upper" scope formula, for example, scope=list(lower=~1,upper=~ .^2) but the upper bound of the scope seems to be ignored and add1 is not performed at all, while if the terms are explicitly listed in the formula, the step function seems to work

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

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

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.

 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]]

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 Multiple R-Squared: 1, Adjusted

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 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, 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 article: "Terms were dropped from a model in a

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]]

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 <-

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

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 model that not meet F statistics at the significant level

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 a couple of (very) crude options: 1) trying to

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

I need to do a classic stepwise regression based not on AIC but on F in and F out (or on R2, or R2 adjusted). I have many variables and it will very useful for me to have a fast stepwise algorithm. Does anyone know if this exists for R and where I can find that ? Thank you very much. Pascal Grandeau -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing
