All Possible Models

In the Stepwise personality of the Fit Model platform, use the All Possible Models option in the Stepwise Fit red triangle menu to investigate all models that can be constructed with your predictors.

Notes:

This option is computationally intense when the number of variables is large.

Categorical predictors are represented by indicator variables. See Models with Nominal and Ordinal Effects.

The following options restrict the number of models that appear:

Maximum number of terms in a model

Enter a value for the maximum number of terms in a model.

Number of best models to see

Enter the maximum number of models of each size to display. The best models according to the R-square value appear.

Restrict to models where interactions imply lower order effects (Heredity Restriction)

Shows only models that contain all lower-order effects when a higher-order effect is included. These models satisfy strong effect heredity. This option is useful when your predictors include interaction or polynomial terms.

See Example of the All Possible Models Option.
