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

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

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.

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 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 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

Dear All, I am new to R and I would like to do the following: I want to fit a logistic model with 3 predictors and then perform a stepwise regression to select the best possible model using either the AIC/BIC criterion. I have used the stepAIC function which works fine but using this method only likely candidates are evaluated (i.e. not all the models are fitted). We should have 2^3=8 possible

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 <-

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

First of all, I have GAMs noxd<-gam(newNOX~pressure+maxtemp+s(avetemp,bs="cr")+s(mintemp,bs="cr")+s(RH,bs="cr")+s(solar,bs="cr")+s(windspeed,bs="cr")+s(transport,bs="cr"),family=gaussian (link=log),groupD,methods=REML) Then I type " summary(noxd)". and show Family: gaussian Link function: log Formula: newNO2 ~ pressure

I am hoping to get some advise on the following: I am looking for an automatic variable selection procedure to reduce the number of potential predictor variables (~ 50) in a multiple regression model. I would be interested to use the forward stepwise regression using the partial F test. I have looked into possible R-functions but could not find this particular approach. There is a function

Hello, I want to know how to perform stepwise elimination of variables to svyglm thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-helpers, I am trying to do a stepwise procedure in which I want to force some variables in the model. I have searched around and it seems that only leaps package allows to force the variable in the stepwise procedure. I use the leaps package and use the regsubsets(lm1, force.in = 1, data) to force 1 variable in the model. However, the force.in command only allow me to force 1 variable

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

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

Hello, I'm actually using the "Step" procedure in R for multiple regression analysis. I'm using the stepwise selection which alternates between forward selection and backward elimination (direction "both" in the step procedure). I would like to know which F-levels R is using to enter and then to remove variables? I also would like which is the procedure to change

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

Dear all, I am a newcomer to R. I intend to using R to do stepwise regression and PLS with a data set (a 55x20 matrix, with one dependent and 19 independent variable). Based on the same data set, I have done the same work using SPSS and SAS. However, there is much difference between the results obtained by R and SPSS or SAS. In the case of stepwise, SPSS gave out a model with 4 independent

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

Dear R members, I would like to know if there is a stepwise function that gives LRT value instaed of AIC? thanks in advance, Luciana Pozzi CENPAT-CONICET Argentina [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
