Dear William,

Thanks for reply. But I want to compute 95% CI's for RMSE of each sample if I use -bsample- in a loop for my data even for regression.

Best regards
Rasool Bux

If you've searched through the Statalist Archives at all, you'll have noticed that in general many people do not support the use of stepwise regression for multiple valid reasons. Why not just fit a model to your data that is supported by your theory with a regular linear regression model instead?

HTH,
