5/98 What are some of the problems with stepwise regression?

You can easily get CIs for RMSE using plain -bootstrap-.
. sysuse auto
. regress mpg weight
. bootstrap rmse=e(rmse) _b , reps(1000): regress mpg weight

Why not just fit a model to your data that is supported by your theory with a regular linear regression model instead?

>> How could I get 95%CI's for stepwise regression model. I found -swboot- but it is not giving any estimates. Is there any simple way to get 95%CI's for sw regression. I am doing the following procedures to get CI but I am not sure that is this a correct way or not.
