Mastering Variable Selection in Regression Analysis

Which of the following is true about retaining explanatory variables in a regression model?

When should indicator variables representing a qualitative predictor variable be kept together as a group in a regression model?

In a regression model, if second-order terms or interaction terms are present, what is the preferred order of including the terms?

Which method of variable selection is a combination of forward and backward procedures?

Which model has the largest adjusted coefficient of determination (Ra2) and the fewest number of independent variables?

Which method of variable selection starts with all independent variables in the model and then deletes variables one at a time using a partial F-test until all remaining variables produce a significant F statistic?

Which method of variable selection inserts independent variables one at a time until a satisfactory regression equation is found, starting with the variable that has the highest correlation with the response variable?

Which criterion is used to find the point where adding more X variables is not worthwhile because it leads to a very small increase in Rp2?

Which criterion penalizes models with large numbers of predictors and favors more parsimonious models?

Which criterion measures the total mean squared error of the fitted values for each subset regression model?

Which criterion is a measure of how well the use of the fitted values for a subset model can predict the observed responses?

Which of the following is NOT one of the objectives of multiple linear regression?
