 Hi,

Is there any function available to do stepwise selection of variables in Conditional(matched) logistic regression( clogit)? step, stepwise etc are failing in case of conditional logistic regression.

"Failing" is open to a variety of interpretation. Can you offer an example and describe what you mean or quote an error message?

I tested the advice in this posting from C. Berry with the example in ? clogit and got appropriate results:

Please help.


Stepwise procedures are supported somewhat grudgingly on r-help. You ought to read some of the critical comments about stepwise procedures in the Archives:

http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=stepwise+significance&max=100&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=functions&idxname=Rhelp08&idxname=Rhelp10&idxname=Rhelp02

Another search strategy might be "stepwise Harrell".
