RE: st: general-to-specific GETS algorithm

I agree with Clive about -stepwise-, but I also don't think -stepwise- is close to what econometricians mean by general-to-specific. For them the person in mind is more likely to be (Sir) David Hendry than Frank Harrell. I am also wondering if the algorithm is that simple why someone hasn't implemented this long ago....

I wouldn't bother with that, personally; Google-search the name of Frank Harrell (mentioned frequently on the list) for squillions of reasons why.
Anyway, why isn't something like factor analysis, from which you could derive factor scores and use them in a model (not tested), good enough for you?

Take a look at -stepwise-
