[R] Forward Stepwise regression based on partial F test
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?

Robin, You may see leaps() (package leaps). It deals with all subsets regression considering several chosen criteria. beste Regards, Alex models -- Início da mensagem original --- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: Smit, Robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch Data: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 07:15:03 -0500 Assunto: Re: [R] Forward Stepwise regression based on partial F test Smit, Robin wrote: 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.
