Title: Regression Trees Versus Stepwise Regression
Abstract: Many methods have been developed to determine the appropriate subset of independent variables in a multiple variable problem. Some of the methods are application specific while others have a wide range of uses. This study compares two such methods, Regression Trees and Stepwise Regression. A simulation using a known distribution is used for the comparison. In 699 out of 742 cases the Regression Tree method gave better predictors than the Stepwise Regression procedure.
