All possible models - what criteria are used to determine the order of independent variables retained by a model?

Hi All,

I've been experimenting with the All Possible Models option within the stepwise linear regression module. I was wondering what determines the order of the independent variables (IV) listed? Does the order infer some measure of effect/sensitivity, if so is there a way to identify what the relative sensitivity is?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Clint

Do you mean, for example, in the following screenshot, what determines BP listed before LTG in the highlighted model? And whether that infer anything? If so, the order does not mean anything. The whole tag "BP, LTG" is just a label for the model. If you change the order of IV in Effects, you may get a label "LTG, BP" for the same model.
