Maximum Number of Predictors to Use

Use this field/slider to specify the maximum number of predictors to use.

The default value of 0 indicates that all specified predictors are to be used for fitting the model.

When you specify a positive value, the predictors with the largest effects from a full model fit are selected and then the model is refit using only those predictors. This number is in addition to any lock-in variables that you specify.

To Specify the Maximum Number of Predictors:

Either type the desired value in the text field or move the slider to the right or to the left to specify a value.

Tip: To change the scale of the slider, right-click on the slider and select Rescale Slider from the pop-up menu. Change the upper and/or lower boundaries in the window that appears, to rescale the slider and click OK.
