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

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]]

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

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

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 helpers, I'm trying to build logistic regression model large dataset 360 factors and 850 observations. All 360 factors are known to be good predictors of outcome variable but I have to find best model with maximum 10 factors. I tried to fit full model and use stepAIC function to get best model but unfortenatly, the process takes too long to complete (more than 4 hours)... Is it

 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]]

So I recognize that: 1. many people hate forward stepwise regression (i've read the archives)--but I need it 2. step() or stepAIC are two ways to get a stepwise regression in R But here's the thing: I can't seem to figure out how to specify that I want the criteria to be Mallow's Cp (and then to subsequently tell me what the Cp stat is). I know it has something to do with

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

Hi, I have the response variable 'Y' and four predictors say X1, X2, X3 and X4. Assuming all the assmptions like Y follows normal distribution etc. hold and I want to run linear multiple regression. How do I run the stepwise regression (forward as well as the backward regression). >From other software (i.e. minitab), I know only X1 and X2 are significant so my regression equation

Hi All, Its a bit of a beginners question I'm afraid. I have a looped stepwise regression (using MASS and StepAIC) to take random predictors out of the total number. For this example a random sample of 5 out of a total of 20. The loop will continue until all combinations of variables have been run through the loop. The output from each loop can be derived from taking the significant (p)

Dear all, I have a question regarding the use of stepAIC and polynomial (quadratic to be specific) terms in a binary logistic regression model. I read in McCullagh and Nelder, (1989, p 89) and as far as I remember from my statistics cources, higher-degree polynomial effects should not be included without the main effects. If I understand this correctly, following a stepwise model selection based

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 package for logistic model selection using BIC and Mallow's Cp statistic? If not, then kindly suggest me some ways to deal with these problems.

Hi, I'm fitting poisson regression models to counts of birds in 1x1 km squares using several environmental variables as predictors. I do this in a stepwise way, using the stepAIC function. However the resulting models appear to be overparametrized, since too much variables were included. I would like to know if there is the possibility of fitting models by steps but using the AICc

Dear List, having searched the help and archives, I have the impression that there is no automatic model selection procedure implemented in R that includes/excludes predictors in logistic regression models based on LRT P-values. Is that true, or is someone aware of an appropriate function somewhere in a custom package? Even if automatic model selection and LRT might not be the most appropriate

Hello useRs, I have a problem at hand which I'd think is fairly common amongst groups were R is being adopted for Analytics in place of SAS. Users would like to obtain results for logistic regression in R that they have become accustomed to in SAS. Towards this end, I was able to propose the Design package in R which contains many functions to extract the various metrics that SAS reports.

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

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
