Stepwise AIC regression

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

Usage

ols_step_both_aic(model, ...)

# Default S3 method
ols_step_both_aic(
  model,
  include = NULL,
  exclude = NULL,
  progress = FALSE,
  details = FALSE,
  ...
)

# S3 method for class 'ols_step_both_aic'
plot(x, print_plot = TRUE, details = TRUE, digits = 3, ...)

Arguments

model

An object of class lm.

...

Other arguments.

include

Character or numeric vector; variables to be included in selection process.

exclude

Character or numeric vector; variables to be excluded from selection process.

progress

Logical; if TRUE, will display variable selection progress.

details

Logical; if TRUE, details of variable selection will be printed on screen.

x

An object of class ols_step_both_*.

print_plot

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

digits

Number of decimal places to display.

Value

List containing the following components:

model

final model; an object of class lm

metrics

selection metrics

others

list; info used for plotting and printing

# stepwise regression plot
model <- lm(y ~ ., data = stepdata)

# include or exclude variables
# force variable to be included in selection process

ols_step_both_aic(model, include = c("x6"))

# use index of variable instead of name

# force variable to be excluded from selection process
ols_step_both_aic(model, exclude = c("x2"))

# use index of variable instead of name

# include & exclude variables in the selection process
ols_step_both_aic(model, include = c("x6"), exclude = c("x2"))

# use index of variable instead of name
