similar to: stepwise regression-fitting all possible models

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. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Stepwise-logistic-model-selection-using-Cp-and-BIC-criteria-tf4464430.html#a12729613 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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, 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

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

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.

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 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'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 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, 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]]

Hello, I want to know how to perform stepwise elimination of variables to svyglm thanks [[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

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

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

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

Is there a function in R which performs stepwise estimation in ways similar to SAS/STATA (i.e., allows the analyst to specify the significance levels for removal/addition of terms). I've been asked to evaluate two final models: one resulting from a backwards selection in R (stepAIC) and one resulting from a backwards selection using PROC LOGISTIC in SAS. The final terms are slightly

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'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

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
