Yes - I agree that brute-force search is not feasible with that many
combinations. I agree that some kind of pre-processing must be done to
limit the number of variables.

With a large list of variables and fairly large subset size (e.g.,
number of variables, p, is 50 and subset size is 15) this could be
fairly time-consuming (my guess) - it is 2.25x10^12 sets.   Alan - do
you have any ideas on the time required for this?  Am I nuts?  This says
nothing about the amount of output...

also see tryem
ssc des tryem

This will run most estimation commands for a given subset size (as
opposed to all subsets), but also allows for user-defined criteria to
select the "best" subset.

Also note -stepwise- and -nestreg- as similar commands. A related
question would be how one could capture model selection criteria
(adjusted R square) for the regressions run on the covariate
combinations thrown up by
-selectvars-:

**********
cap ssc inst selectvars
sysuse auto, clear

selectvars headroom trunk length

foreach v in `r(varlist)'{
          regress mpg `v'
   }
**********

The -postfile- suite of commands is an obvious solution, but I imagine
there are more convenient ways to do it...

Subject: st: Find all subsets of variables

Dear all,

i want to find out all subsets of a given set of variables for model
testing. As an example:

A set of variables var1 var2 var3 var4 should give me:
var1 var2 var3 var4
var1 var2 var3
var1 var2 var4
var1 var3 var4
var1 var4
var1
var2 var3 var4

and so forth.

I would like to test all possible model configurations. Is there a
command in Stata, which could be convenient to use?

Thank you for any help,

dirk
