A simple model examines at the cost per ounce ($/oz) of hot dogs as a function of the Type of hot dog (Meat, Beef, Poultry) and the Size of the hot dog (Jumbo, Regular, Hors d’oeuvre).
1.
Select Help > Sample Data Library and open Hot Dogs2.jmp.
2.
Select Analyze > Fit Model.
3.
Select $/oz and click Y.
4.
Select Type and Size and click Add.
5.
For Personality, select Stepwise.
6.
Click Run.
7.
For Stopping Rule, select P-value Threshold.
8.
For Rules, select Restrict.
Figure 4.18 Stepwise Control Panel with P-value Threshold and Restrict Rule
Notice that when you change from the default Rule of Combine to Restrict, the F Ratio and Prob > F values for two terms are shown as missing. These are the terms Type{Poultry-Meat} and Size{Regular-Jumbo}. This is because these two terms cannot enter the model until their precedent terms enter.
9.
Click Step.
The term Type{Poultry&Meat-Beef} enters the model. This term has the smallest Prob>F value, and that value falls below the Prob to Enter threshold of 0.25.
Figure 4.19 Stepwise Control Panel with One Term Entered
The the F Ratio and Prob > F values for the term Type{Poultry-Meat} appear. Since its precedent term has entered the model, Type{Poultry-Meat} is now allowed to enter.
10.
Click Step.
Since Type{Poultry-Meat} has the smallest Prob>F value among the remaining terms, and that value is below the Prob to Enter threshold, it is the next term to enter the model.
11.
Click Step.
The term Size{Hors d'oeuvre-Regular&Jumbo} enters the model, since its Prob>F value is 0.1577. Because its precedent term is now in the model, the term Size{Regular-Jumbo} is allowed to enter the model and its Prob>F value appears.
However, the Prob>F value for the term Size{Regular-Jumbo} is 0.7566, which exceeds the Prob to Enter value of 0.25. For this reason, if you click Step again, it is not entered into the model.
