In this present book Chapter-I is an introductory one. Chapter-II
describes the various criteria for selection of regressors in the
multiple regression analysis existing in this book. Chapter-III deals
with the basic stepwise regression procedures for variable selection in
multiple regression analysis and The mean square error of prediction
criterion has been discussed along with a similar average estimated
variance criterion for the selection of variables in the general linear
model. Chapter-IV presents the various methods for choosing variable
subsets in multiple linear regression analysis under these methods, the
mean squared prediction error has been considered as basis of the
criteria. Chapter-V proposes some new criteria for selection of
regressors in econometrics based on different types of residuals such as
Ordinary Least Squares, Studentized and Predicted residuals. Chapter-VI
depicts the main conclusions of the present research study. It also
narrates the plan for future research as an extension in the lines of
study. Several relevant references have been documented under a separate
title "BIBLIOGRAPHY".
