Thanks Tirthankar!

I see that separate files are stored for each simulation. How could one combine those results in one file?

Also, how would one generate a table (sample size on the horizontal and number of predictors on the vertical) with the simulated r-squares?
Best,
J.

You should probably use -simulate-. Here is what it might look like:

capture program drop sim

	stepwise, pr(.2): regress y x*
      qui indeplist
      return scalar r2d2 = e(r2)
end

That's very helpful; thanks Martin.

To extend the below, how would I simulate the r-square? That is, I want to
run the simulation say 100 times, and then obtain the mean r-square from
each simulation. Thus, I can show, at a specific sample size (n=100) and
number of independent variables (k=5), what the r-square would be just by
chance alone.

As an extension, is there a way to vary the sample size (n from 50 to 1000,
in increments of 50) and the number of independent variables (k=1 to k=100
in increments of 1) in the simulation?

Best,
J.

You could also -tokenize- the return from -indeplist- and have your
-program- return the regressors one by one...

Betreff: st: Simulating stepwise regression

Hi:

I would like to simulate the below. Note, I am no fan of stepwise--I just
want to demonstrate it evils

However, I do not know

1. what to put in the place of "??"--that is, I want the program to
capture only the variables that were selected in the model as being
significant

2. how to simulate the r-square.

3. how to extend the simulation (a new program) such that I simulate from
n = 50 to n=1000 (in increments of 50), crossed with independent variables
ranging from x1 to x100.

Regards,
John.

Here is the program:

set seed 123456

capture program drop sim
 version 10.1
program define sim, eclass
       drop _all

set obs 100

gen y = invnorm(uniform())
gen x1 = invnorm(uniform())
gen x2 = invnorm(uniform())
gen x3 = invnorm(uniform())
gen x4 = invnorm(uniform())
gen x5 = invnorm(uniform())

stepwise, pr(.2): regress y x1-x5
 end

simulate ??? , reps(20) seed (123) : sim,

foreach v in ?? {
 gen t_`v' = /*
*/_b_`v'/_se_`v'
 gen p_`v' =/*
*/ 2*(1-normal(abs(t_`v')))
}
