blorr (version 0.3.0)

blr_step_p_both: Stepwise regression

Description

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

Usage

blr_step_p_both(model, ...)
# S3 method for default
blr_step_p_both(model, pent = 0.1, prem = 0.3, details = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for blr_step_p_both
plot(x, model = NA, print_plot = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

model

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

...

Other arguments.

pent

p value; variables with p value less than pent will enter into the model.

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 blr_step_p_both.

print_plot

logical; if TRUE, prints the plot else returns a plot object.

Value

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

model

final model; an object of class glm

orders

candidate predictor variables according to the order by which they were added or removed from the model

method

addition/deletion

steps

total number of steps

predictors

variables retained in the model (after addition)

aic

akaike information criteria

bic

bayesian information criteria

dev

deviance

indvar

predictors
