Stepwise Fit Report Options

The Stepwise Fit red triangle menu contains the following options:

K-Fold Crossvalidation

(Available only for continuous responses.) Performs k-fold cross validation in the variable selection process. When selected, this option enables the Max K-Fold RSquare stopping rule in the control panel. See Stepwise Regression Control Panel. For more information about validation, see “K-Fold and Holdback Validation” in Predictive and Specialized Modeling.

All Possible Models

(Available only for continuous responses.) Fits all possible models up to specified limits and shows the best models for each number of terms. You can specify values for the maximum number of terms to fit in any one model. You can also specify values for the maximum number of model results to show for each number of model terms. Categorical variables are represented by using indicator variables. See Models with Nominal and Ordinal Effects. You can restrict the models that appear to those that satisfy strong effect heredity. See Stepwise Fit Report Options.

Model Averaging

(Available only for continuous responses.) Combines multiple models into a single model where the coefficients are weighted averages of individual model coefficients. See Model Averaging.

Plot Criterion History

Creates a plot of AICc and BIC versus the number of parameters. The Criterion History plot contains two shaded zones. Define the minimum AICc value as Vbest. The green zone is defined by the range [Vbest, Vbest+4]. The yellow zone is defined by the range (Vbest+4, Vbest+10].

Plot RSquare History

(Available only for continuous response models that have validation data.) Creates a plot of training and validation R-square versus the number of parameters.

Clear History

Clears and resets the step history.

Model Dialog

Shows the completed Fit Model launch window for the current analysis.

Image shown hereExport Model with Validation

(Available only when you have specified a Validation column in the Stepwise launch window.) Adds the Validation column to the Model Specification window when you select the Make Model option. Runs the model with the Validation column when you select Run Model. This option is selected by default.

See “Local Data Filters in JMP Reports”, “Redo Menus in JMP Reports”, “Group Platform”, and “Save Script Menus in JMP Reports” in Using JMP for more information about the following options:

Local Data Filter

Shows or hides the local data filter that enables you to filter the data used in a specific report.

Redo

Contains options that enable you to repeat or relaunch the analysis. In platforms that support the feature, the Automatic Recalc option immediately reflects the changes that you make to the data table in the corresponding report window.

Platform Preferences

Contains options that enable you to view the current platform preferences or update the platform preferences to match the settings in the current JMP report.

Save Script

Contains options that enable you to save a script that reproduces the report to several destinations.

Note: Additional options for this platform are available through scripting. Open the Scripting Index under the Help menu. In the Scripting Index, you can also find examples for scripting the options that are described in this section.
