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, ...)

## Default S3 method:
ols_step_backward_p(model, prem = 0.3,
  progress = FALSE, details = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'ols_step_backward_p'
plot(x, model = NA, print_plot = TRUE,
  ...)

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.
`progress`	Logical; if `TRUE`, will display variable selection progress.
`details`	Logical; if `TRUE`, will print the regression result at each step.
`x`	An object of class `ols_step_backward_p`.
`print_plot`	logical; if `TRUE`, prints the plot else returns a plot object.

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:

`model`	final model; an object of class `lm`
`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().
