      1. forward selection: 인들 (predictors) 중 종속변인인 Y와 상관관계가 가장 높은 변인부터 먼저 투입되어 회귀계산이 수행된다. 먼저 투입된 변인은 (상관관계가 높으므로) 이론적으로 종속변인을 설명하는 중요한 요소로 여겨지게 된다. 또한 다음 변인은 우선 투입된 변인을 고려한 상태로 투입된다.
      2. backward deletion: 모든 독립변인들이 한꺼번에 투입되어 회귀계산이 시작된다. 이어서 회귀식에 통계학적으로 기여하지 못한다고 판단되는 X변인이 하나씩 제거되면서 회귀계산을 반복적으로 한다.
      3. stepwise selection: Forward와 같은 방식으로 회귀계산을 하되, 투입된 변인의 설명력을 계산하여 버릴 것인지 취할 것인지를 결정한다. 각 IV에 대한 t-test를 근거로 그 IV가 significant한 기여를 했는지를 판단하는 것을 말한다.

The below is from http://www.statisticssolutions.com/selection-process-for-multiple-regression/

Forward selection begins with an empty equation. Predictors are added one at a time beginning with the predictor with the highest correlation with the dependent variable. Variables of greater theoretical importance are entered first. Once in the equation, the variable remains there.

Backward elimination (or backward deletion) is the reverse process. All the independent variables are entered into the equation first and each one is deleted one at a time if they do not contribute to the regression equation.

Stepwise regression is a combination of the forward and backward selection techniques. . . . Stepwise regression is a modification of the forward selection so that after each step in which a variable was added, all candidate variables in the model are checked to see if their significance has been reduced below the specified tolerance level. If a nonsignificant variable is found, it is removed from the model. Stepwise regression requires two significance levels: one for adding variables and one for removing variables. The cutoff probability for adding variables should be less than the cutoff probability for removing variables so that the
procedure does not get into an infinite loop.

Sequential Regression Method of Entry:

Block-wise selection is a version of forward selection that is achieved in blocks or sets. The predictors are grouped into blocks based on psychometric consideration or theoretical reasons and a stepwise selection is applied. Each block is applied separately while the other predictor variables are ignored. Variables can be removed when they do not contribute to the prediction. In general, the predictors included in the blocks will be inter-correlated. Also, the order of entry has an impact on which variables will be selected; those that are entered in the earlier stages have a better chance of being retained than those entered at later stages.

Essentially, the multiple regression selection process enables the researcher to obtain a reduced set of variables from a larger set of predictors, eliminating unnecessary predictors, simplifying data, and enhancing predictive accuracy.

Two criterion are used to achieve the best set of predictors; these include meaningfulness to the situation and statistical significance. By entering variables into the equation in a given order, confounding variables can be investigated and variables that are highly correlated can be combined into blocks.

e.g. SWISS data

A data frame with 47 observations on 6 variables, each of which is in percent, i.e., in [0, 100].

[,1]	Fertility	Ig, ‘common standardized fertility measure’ 임신율
[,2]	Agriculture	% of males involved in agriculture as occupation
[,3]	Examination	% draftees receiving highest mark on army examination
[,4]	Education	% education beyond primary school for draftees.
[,5]	Catholic	% ‘catholic’ (as opposed to ‘protestant’).
[,6]	Infant.Mortality	live births who live less than 1 year.
All variables but ‘Fertility’ give proportions of the population.
