Hello,

there are lots of suggestions for the minimum data for regression
models, i.e.

1) 1 var. for every 10 observations.
2) Variables can be added until Adjusted R-square deviates
   substantially Unadjusted R-square.
3) With relatively large samples (n=100), a variable can be added
   if is correlation with other variables is no larger than about
   0.80 or 0.85.

My question is, whether the 1) suggestion should be condsidered with a
stepwise regression, too. That means when I do a stepwise regression
and get i.e. 20 variables are 200 obeserved values sufficient for
prediction or is it important to have as much observations as there
are "possible" variables before the use of the stepwise method.

Thanks a lot,

Bastian
