Abstract:
Researchers often invoke stepwise ordinary least squares regression to explain, predict or classify practical problems or theoretical constructs in psychological and social research. Unfortunately, this statistical technique is used without proper consideration for its inherent theoretical and practical limitations, a problem expected to grow even more serious with the proliferation of statistical packages for use on personal computers. Use of stepwise regression in social and psychological research is reconsidered here. Explanations of forward selection, backward elimination and combination s

Abstract:
For building a linear prediction model, Backward Elimination (BE) is a computationally suitable stepwise procedure for sequencing the candidate predictors. This method yields poor results when data contain outliers and other contaminations. Robust model selection procedures, on the other hand, are not computationally efficient or scalable to large dimensions, because they require the fitting of a large number of submodels. Robust version of BE is proposed in this study, which is computationally very suitable and scalable to large high-dimensional data sets. Since BE can be expressed in terms o

The influences of External Debt Service (EDS), External Debt Stock (EDSt), Government Expenditure (GE), Inflation Rate (InfR), Interest Rate (IntR) and Exchange Rate (ExR) of Nigeria on the Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) are examined. Results of the analysis using Stepwise Regression (Backward Elimination and Forward Selection) reveals that GE, EDS, and IntR have positive significant contributions to the RGDP of the country compared to other variables considered.

Abstract:
Fires in buildings are significant public safety hazards and can result in fatalities and substantial financial losses. Studies have shown that the socioeconomic makeup of a region can impact the occurrence of building fires. However, existing models based on the classical stepwise regression procedure have limitations. This paper proposes a more accurate predictive model of building fire rates using a set of socioeconomic variables. To improve the model’s forecasting ability, a backward elimination by robust final predictor error (RFPE) criterion is introduced. The proposed approach is applie

The objective of this article is to present the model for predicting a corrosion under insulation rate by using several field nondestructive testing (NDT) inspection data, including stress-strain profile, surface temperature profile, and moisture content of insulation. The backward stepwise elimination regression method was utilized to find the influential factor for the model. Prior to the algorithm selection, the unsupervised learning analysis was performed to determine the best algorithm for the model. The algorithm used for the final model was an artificial neural network that utilizes the

Abstract:
Researchers often perform data-driven variable selection when modeling the associations between an outcome and multiple independent variables in regression analysis. Variable selection may improve the interpretability, parsimony and/or predictive accuracy of a model. Yet variable selection can also have negative consequences, such as false exclusion of important variables or inclusion of noise variables, biased estimation of regression coefficients, underestimated standard errors and invalid confidence intervals, as well as model instability.

Literacy is a foundational skill that underpins students’ academic success and lifelong opportunities. Low literacy skills can result in long-term disadvantages such as limited access to higher education, low productivity, and social inequality. Indonesia continues to face challenges in improving students' literacy achievement, particularly at the primary school level. According to the PISA 2022 results, Indonesia ranked 69th out of 81 countries, indicating that students’ literacy levels remain relatively low.

Abstract:
When we try to understand why some schools perform worse than others, if Covid-19 has struck harder on some demographics or whether income correlates with increased happiness, we may turn to regression to better understand how these variables are correlated. To capture the true relationship between variables we may use variable selection methods in order to ensure that the variables which have an actual effect have been included in the model. Choosing the right model for variable selection is vital. Without it there is a risk of including variables which have little to do with the dependent va

Abstract:
Regression model (RM) is an important tool for modeling and analyzing data. It is one of the popular predictive modeling techniques which explore the relationship between a dependent (target) and independent (predictor) variables. The variable selection method is used to form a good and effective regression model. Many variable selection methods existing for regression model such as filter method, wrapper method, embedded methods, forward selection method, Backward Elimination methods, stepwise methods, and so on. In this chapter, computational intelligence-based variable selection method is discussed with respect to the regression model in cybersecurity. Generally, these regression models depend on the set of (predictor) variables. Therefore, variable selection methods are used to select the best subset of predictors from the entire set of variables. Genetic algorithm-based quick-reduct method is proposed to extract optimal predictor subset from the given data to form an optimal regression model.
