Re: st: aic bic adjusted R-squared with svy command

[sjsamuels@gmail.com]

I concur that using step-wise to build models is very poor practice.
None of the standard errors or p-values for the selected predictors
will be valid.


For some other ideas on model building, see:

Note that the R-square computed by -svy: reg- is, in fact, the
adjusted R-square.
