Statistical Testing Method for Continuous Predictors
Use the drop-down menu to select the statistical method to be used for filtering the continuous predictors.
Statistical options for reducing predictor continuous variables are listed in the following table:
Statistical Test1
Asymmetric Loss T-Test2
When you select this option, you must also specify a value, denoted as f, in the Asymmetric Loss Fitting Proportion text box. When a residual is positive, a weight of f is used in the T-test, and when it is negative a weight of 1 - f is used.
Choose this method to fit a robust regression model that reduces the effect of the outliers.
