Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stepwise regression is an automated process of systematically adding or deleting independent variables from a regression model. Nonlinear regression and residual analysis are not related to the process of adding or deleting variables. Linear regression refers to the type of regression model being used but does not refer to the process of adding or deleting variables.
