9.18 a) Using forward stepwise regression to find the best subset of predictor variables to predict job proficiency. The Alpha-to-Enter significance level was set at 0.05 and the Alpha-to-Leave significance level was set at 0.10. The first predictor entered into the stepwise model is X3. SAS tells us that the estimated intercept is -106.13 and the estimated slope for X3 is 1.968. The R2-value is 0.8047‚ mean square error is 76.87. The second predictor entered into the stepwise model is X1.
