Subject: RE: [R] covariate selection?
Hello Ian,
Sorry. I don't really understand your problem, which is of model
selection. That's right?
You could use some criteria based in likelihood. For instante Akaike
(AIC) or Schwarz criteria (BIC), see:
?AIC
?mle.aic
(The best model is determined minimizing AIC or BIC).
I hope this help you.
Greetings,
Juan Carlos

Asunto: Re: [R] covariate selection?
Thanks Juan. I thought that was what I was looking for, but really, I
want to know which of the original covariates could best be used to take
advantage of their colinearity without creating new variables. I think
PCA creates new variables. SAS and SPSS can do what I'm talking about,
but I would like to use R for this.
Thanks,
Ian
