Saving variable names from stepwise

MSQ1 · Postby **MSQ1** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:08 am

I want to save the result from a stepwise regression in a matrix but I do not only need to know the coefficient values (@coefs) but I also need to know which variables were actually chosen. Can I also save the names of the selected variables?

As with all equations, you can use eq.@varlist to get a list of all of the variables included in the final equation.

Is there a way I can get the resulting varlist converted to an alpha series? I'm trying to get the information in a format so I can save it to a SQL database using odbc.

You'd have to write a loop and populate the alpha series one at a time.

Hello,

how do you do a stepwise regression? I have been staring at this thing all day long and cant figure it out.
The people on this site are just wonderful, I hope someone can help.

User Guide II has good instructions. Lookup stepwise in the index.
