We introduce a fast stepwise regression method, called the orthogonal greedy algorithm (OGA), that selects input variables to enter a p-dimensional linear regression model (with p ≫ n, the sample size ...

The first step in conducting a regression-based study is to specify a model. In real applications, this is usually the most challenging step - deciding which variables “belong” in the model and which ...

Although quantitative researchers in political science and sociology have used stepwise regression to select independent variables and to rank them in terms of their impact on a dependent variable, ...
