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

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

Does anybody know how to perform a step function by significance of p instead of AIC? I want to perform a forward-backward stepwise logistic regression and want to compare the results obtained by steps of significance and by steps of AIC.

Hi, I am trying to understand the alternative methods that are available for selecting variables in a regression without simply imposing my own bias (having "good judgement"). The methods implimented in leaps and step and stepAIC seem to fall into the general class of stepwise procedures. But these are commonly condemmed for inducing overfitting. In Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman

Hi, (R version 2.15.0) I am running a pgm with 1 response (earlier standardized Y) and 44 independent vars (Xi) from the same data =a2: When I run the 'lm' function on single Xi at a time, the beta coefficient for let's say X1 is = -0.08 (se=0.03256) But when I run the same Y with 44 Xi-s with the 'step' function (because I left direction parameter empty, I assume a backward

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

Dear all, I am fairly new to R. I would like to perform a step-wise logit regression aiming to select a model on the basis of AIC. I am using some large datasets (up to a million rows and 97 variables). It is taking the 'step' function just too long to complete a single routine. Now, I have tried subsetting the data and perform the same thing. But, 'step' is time consuming still.

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 tried to use "step" function to do model selection, but I got an error massage. What I don't understand is that data as data.frame worked well for my other programs, how come I cannot make it run this time. Could you please tell me how I can fix it? ***************************************************************************************************

Hello all, I am trying to use stepwise procedure to select covariates in Cox model and use bootstrap to repeat stepwise selection, then record how many times variables are chosen by step() in bootstrap replications. When I use step() (or stepAIC) to do model selection, I got errors. Here is the part of my code for (j in 1:mm){ #<--mm=10 for (b in 1:nrow(reg.bs)){ #<--bootstrap 10

Dear all, Does R or S-plus or any of their packages provide any command to form any of the following procedures to find Best Regression Equation - 1. 'All Possible Regressions Procedures' (is there any automated command to perform 2^p regressions and ordering according to criteria R2(adj), mallows Cp, s2- by not setting all the regression models manually), 2. 'Backward

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'm looking for guidance on how to implement forward stepwise regression using lmStepAIC in Caret. The stepwise "direction" appears to default to "backward". When I try to use "scope" to provide a lower and upper model, Caret still seems to default to "backward". Any thoughts on how I can make this work? Here is what I tried: itemonly <-

hello I built logistic regression model. To model check I used stepAIC. But I don't know how it is interpreted . I could not any find any explanation about it For instance which model is preferable ? What are the critarias to choose beter model I will appreciate if you give me an explanation ? models --------- > lo1.step$anova Stepwise Model Path Analysis of Deviance Table Initial

Hello everybody, I would need some help from you. I am trying to fit a logistic model to some presence absence data of animals living on river islands. I have got 12 predictor variables and I am trying to use a stepwise forward method to fit the best logistic model to my data. I am using the function STEP (stats). I have a question for you. Can I use step function if my variables have a

Hi, I am trying to do multiple regression on a set of data using backward stepwise regression....however backward stepwise regression is critised for overfitting data. To actually observe the bias and to come up with a better method to use..Could you all stats experts kindly give me pointers to any alternative procedure (or references) to use over backward stepwise regression from your

Hi, R users, What may be the best function in R to do variable selection in logistic regression? I have the same number of variables as the number of samples, and I want to select the best variablesfor prediction. Is there any function doing forward selection followed by backward elimination in stepwise logistic regression? Thanks, Annie [[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

I can only assume I'm betraying my ignorance here, but this is not what I would expect. I'm getting the following from a stepwise selection (with both step and stepAIC): > step(lm(sqrt(Grids)~ SE + Edge + NH), scope=~ (Edge + SE + NH)^2) Start: AIC= 593.56 sqrt(Grids) ~ SE + Edge + NH Df Sum of Sq RSS AIC <none> 2147.0 593.6 + Edge:NH 1

I would like to run a loop in R. I have never done this before, so I would be very grateful for your help ! 1. I have a sample set: 25 objects. I would like to draw 1 object from it and use it as a test set for my future external validation. The remaining 24 objects I would like to use as a training set (to select a model). I would like to repeat this process until all 25 objects are used as a
