Select some, but not all, variables stepwise
Resist the temptation. Stepwise analysis without shrinkage will ruin model inferences without helping with predictive accuracy. Frank

Hi,
I would like to fit a linear model where some but not all explanators are
chosen stepwise - ie I definitely want to include some terms, but others
only if they are deemed significant (by AIC or whatever other approach is
available). For example if I wanted to definitely include x1 and x2, but
only include z1 and z2 if they are significant, something like this:
df <- data.frame(y=c(4,2,6,7,3,9,5,7,6,2), x1=c(2,3,4,0,5,8,8,1,1,2),
x2=c(0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1), z1=c(0,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,1,1),
z2=c(1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0))
model <- lm(y ~ x1 + x2 + stepwise(z1 + z2))
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andre
