Question: A researcher used stepwise regression to create regression models to predict BirthRate (births per thousand) using five predictors: LifeExp (life expectancy in years), InMort (infant mortality rate), Density (population density per square kilometer), GDPCap (Gross Domestic Product per capita), and Literature (literacy percent). Interpret these results.
Regression Analysis – Stepwise Selection (best model of each size).
153 observations
BirthRate is the dependent variable
