What is the 'Beta In' option in SPSS Statistics' Stepwise Linear Regression procedure?

Question & Answer


Question

Using the Stepwise Linear Regression analysis of IBM SPSS Statistics, there is an ‘Excluded Variables’ table in output file that is generated. For Excluded Variables, is the 'Beta In' column the correlation coefficient?

Answer

The Excluded Variables are excluded from the model. But if such variables are included in the model, the ‘Beta’ values of them are equal to the values of ‘Beta In’. So the ‘Beta In’ values can be treated as possible ‘Beta’ values but not correlation coefficient.
