Re: st: stepwise et al
Thanks for the link Phil.
I have made progress in back testing my model without using stepwise. However,
as I am short on time, it would be atleast interesting to evaluate and compare
the differences in the respective relationships. Thefore, any direction would
be appreciated.
On a seperate, whilst back testing my model. I yeilded strong relationships.
However, when I changed my dependant variable (but mantained my independant
set) I was unable to generate any results. Instead a T statistic, I would get
"." Does anyone know why this is happening?
I am trying to determine what independant variables effect stock performance.
Therefore, my independant conditioning set is fixed, whereas my dependant
variables change-as they have been computed using an array of models.
Regards,
Bilal

It's not at all clear what your question is. However, before
attempting to re-ask it, please see
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/stepwise.html
if you haven't already. You may, based on that, decide to forgo the
stepwise approach. In any case, know that you won't get a very warm
reception for stepwise analyses on this list, for the reasons
described above (nothing personal). Despite that, if you have a
specific question about how to perform stepwise analyses in Stata,
people here can help you with that.
