Multiple Regression of Students' Performance Using forward Selection Procedure, Backward Elimination and Stepwise Procedure

Abstract

The building of required models aids in appropriate model prediction. The students GPA(Y) which is the response (dependent) variable was regressed on four predictor (independent) variables. Methodologies of the backward elimination, forward selection procedure and stepwise procedure are discussed with numerical data to find the model which gives the prediction Y, given .X1,X4
