olsrr (version 0.5.0)

ols_step_backward_p: Stepwise backward regression

Description

Build regression model from a set of candidate predictor variables by removing predictors based on p values, in a stepwise manner until there is no variable left to remove any more.

Usage

ols_step_backward_p(model, ...)
# S3 method for default
ols_step_backward_p(model, prem = 0.3, details = FALSE,
  ...)
# S3 method for ols_step_backward_p
plot(x, model = NA, ...)

Arguments

model

An object of class lm; the model should include all candidate predictor variables.

...

Other inputs.

prem

p value; variables with p more than prem will be removed from the model.

details

Logical; if TRUE, will print the regression result at each step.

x

An object of class ols_step_backward_p.

Value

ols_step_backward_p returns an object of class "ols_step_backward_p". An object of class "ols_step_backward_p" is a list containing the following components:

steps

total number of steps

removed

variables removed from the model

rsquare

coefficient of determination

aic

akaike information criteria

sbc

bayesian information criteria

sbic

sawa's bayesian information criteria

adjr

adjusted r-square

rmse

root mean square error

mallows_cp

mallow's Cp

indvar

predictors

Deprecated Function

ols_step_backward() has been deprecated. Instead use ols_step_backward_p().
