Example 1. Stepwise Logistic Regression and Predicted Values
*****************************************************************/

/*
The data, taken from Lee (1974), consist of patient characteristics and
whether or not cancer remission occurred, and are saved in the data set
Remission. The variable remiss is the cancer remission indicator variable
with a value of 1 for remission and a value of 0 for nonremission.  The other
six variables are the risk factors thought to be related to cancer remission.

The first call to the LOGISTIC procedure illustrates the use of stepwise
selection to identify the prognostic factors for cancer remission.  Two
output datasets are printed: one contains the parameter estimates and the
estimated covariance matrix; the other contains the predicted values and
confidence limits for the probabilities of cancer remission.

The second call to the LOGISTIC procedure illustrates the FAST option for
backward elimination.
