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 (stepAIC) that uses the Akaike criterion or Mallow's Cp criterion. In addition, the drop1 and add1 functions came closest to what I want but with them I cannot perform the required procedure. Do you have any ideas?
