向前逐步回归Forward selection: stepwise regress y x1 x2 … xk, pe(#1) pe(#1) specifies the significance level for addition to the model; terms with p<#1 are eligible for addition(显著才加入模型中).
向后逐步回归Backward elimination: stepwise regress y x1 x2 … xk, pr(#2) pr(#2) specifies the significance level for removal from the model; terms with p>= #2 are eligible for removal(不显著就剔除出模型).
