Dear all,

I am new to Tassel and I stumbled over a strange behaviour in the GUI. Maybe this has a reason that I missed:
I would like to enter a specific but very small value into the Entry limit (4.86E-7). If I paste this value to the GUI, it gets reduced to 0,0. I tried to find the lowest possible and apparently that is 0,00001. Is there a reason for this? And also, what would be your recommentation to move forward to use the actual value that we want?
Many thanks for your help,
Marion

I think a workaround would be to use the TASSEL CLI.

We are discussing how to fix this in the GUI

Dear Terry, 

thank you for your reply. Is it possible to use the stepwise analysis with the CLI? So far, I only saw options refering to the MLM.

Many greetings, Marion

Usage:

StepwiseOLSModelFitterPlugin <options>

-modelType <Model type> : The model selection criteria used to
determine which terms enter the model and how many. Value must be one
of pvalue, bic, mbic, or aic [pvalue, bic, mbic, aic] (Default:
pvalue)

-enter <Entry limit> : The enter limit or maximum p-value for which a
term can enter the model [0.0..1.0] (Default: 0.01)

-exit <Exit limit> : A term exits the model on a backward step if its
p-value is greater than this value [0.0..1.0] (Default: 0.01)

-maxMarkers <Maximum markers> : The maximum number of markers that
will be fit, if the enter limit is not reached first [0..10000]
(Default: 20)

-nestMarkers <true | false> : Should markers be nested within a model
factor (Default: false)

-nestFactor <Nesting factor> : Nest markers within this factor.

-nperm <Number of permutations> : Number of permutations for the model
to determine an empirical alpha [0..100000] (Default: 0)
