SS and R2 Portion for Effects Chosen for the Target

As in the Example 1 analysis, the original input LEISURE appears to be the most important predictor of how much a

customer spends. Notice that the remaining chosen effects are either AOV16 variables or group variables.

Final ANOVA Table for the Target

The R-square value of 0.8234 is slightly larger than the 0.7810 value obtained from the initial analysis, which did not

include the AOV16 or group variables.

The USEGROUPS option specifies to retain only the reduced group variables

(the original class variables are not included in the model selection process).

Since the NOAOV16 option was not specified, the AOV16 variables that have

an R-square value less than the MINR2 cutoff are used in the final forward

stepwise regression. Because the NOINTER option is omitted, the two-factor

class interactions are also evaluated in the forward stepwise regression.
