Thanks; this is really excellent and very kind of you to provide me with such a detailed program. It works great.

Thank you and to Martin too....I have a nice combo of programs to play with.

John.

Here is a way; maybe someone can suggest something which is not quite
this cumbersome. Note that since sort order is not important, you can
merge by an identifier based on row number.

An "id" variable is created in each simulation file. Once the
simulations are done, the files are merged. Then a -reshape- and a
-collapse- gets you where you want. I am assuming you want the mean
R^2 for each set of simulations. This can be changed.

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.

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')))
}
