Iterating Stepwise Regression Models Using Different Column Names with _y Suffix
Stepwise Regression Model Iteration by Column Name (Data Table) In this article, we will discuss how to perform a stepwise regression model iteration using different column names with the _y suffix. We’ll explore various approaches and techniques for achieving this goal. Introduction Stepwise regression is a method used in regression analysis where we iteratively add or remove variables from the model based on statistical criteria such as p-values. The process involves fitting a full model, selecting the best subset of variables, and then iteratively adding or removing variables to improve the fit.
