Controlling the Type I Error Rate in Stepwise Regression Analysis.

Pohlmann, John T.

Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, v10 n1 p46-60 Nov 1979

The type I error rate in stepwise regression analysis deserves serious consideration by researchers. The problem-wide error rate is the probability of selecting any variable when all variables have population regression weights of zero. Appropriate significance tests are presented and a Monte Carlo experiment is described. (Author/CTM)
