  • Abstract
    We give an example of the use of the forward search in building a regression model. The standard backwards elimination of variables is supplemented, by forward ´plots of added, variable t statistics that exhibit the effect of each observation on the process of model building. Attention is also paid to the effect of individual, observations on selection of a transformation. Variable selection using AIC is mentioned, as is the analysis of multivariate data.
