Perform stepwise regression
===========================
In this example we perform the selection of the most suitable function basis for a linear regression model with the help of the stepwise algorithm.
We consider te so-called Linthurst data set, which contains measures of aerial biomass (BIO) as well as 5 five physicochemical properties of the soil: salinity (SAL), pH, K, Na, and Zn.
The data set is taken from the book [rawlings2001]_
and is provided below:
"""
# %%
import openturns as ot
from openturns.viewer import View
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from openturns.usecases import linthurst
# %%
# We define the data.
#
# %%
ds = linthurst.Linthurst()
dimension = ds.data.getDimension() - 1
input_sample = ds.data[:, 1 : dimension + 1]
print("Input :")
print(input_sample[:5])
output_sample = ds.data[:, 0]
print("Output :")
print(output_sample[:5])
input_description = input_sample.getDescription()
output_description = output_sample.getDescription()
n = input_sample.getSize()
print("n = ", n)
dimension = ds.data.getDimension() - 1
print("dimension = ", dimension)
# %%
# Complete linear model
# ---------------------
#
# We consider a linear model with the purpose of predicting the aerial biomass as a function of the soil physicochemical properties,
# and we wish to identify the predictive variables which result in the most simple and precise linear regression model.
#
# We start by creating a linear model which takes into account all of the physicochemical variables present within the Linthrust data set.
#
# Let us consider the following linear model :math:`\tilde{Y} = a_0 + \sum_{i = 1}^{d} a_i X_i + \epsilon`. If all of the predictive variables
# are considered, the regression can be performed with the help of the :class:`~openturns.LinearModelAlgorithm` class.

# %%
# Forward stepwise regression
# ---------------------------
#
# We now wish to perform the selection of the most important predictive variables through a stepwise algorithm.
#
# It is first necessary to define a suitable function basis for the regression. Each variable is associated to a univariate basis
# and an additional basis is used in order to represent the constant term :math:`a_0`.
# %%

# %%
# Plese note that this example uses a linear basis with respect to the various predictors for the sake of clarity.
# However, this is not a necessity, and more complex and non linear relations between predictors may be considered
# (e.g., polynomial bases).
# %%
# We now perform a forward stepwise regression. We suppose having no information regarding the given data set, and therefore the set of minimal
# indices only contains the constant term (indexed by 0).
#
# The first regression is performed by relying on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), which translates into a penalty term equal to 2.
# In practice, the algorithm selects the functional basis subset that minimizes the AIC by iteratively adding the single function which provides
# the largest improvement until convergence is reached.
# %%

print("Selected basis: ", result_forward.getCoefficientsNames())
print("R-squared = ", result_forward.getRSquared())
print("Adjusted R-squared = ", result_forward.getAdjustedRSquared())
# %%
# With this first forward stepwise regression, the results show that the selected optimal basis contains a constant term,
# plus two linear terms depending respectively on the pH value (pH) and on the sodium concentration (Na).
#
# As can be expected, the :math:`R^2` value diminishes if compared to the regression on the entire basis, as the stepwise
# regression results in a lower number of predictive variables. However, it can also be seen that the adjusted :math:`R^2`,
# which is a metric that also takes into account the ratio between the amount of training data and the number of explanatory
# variables, is improved if compared to the complete model.
# %%
# Backward stepwise regression
# ----------------------------
#
# We now perform a backward stepwise regression, meaning that rather than iteratively adding predictive variables, we will be removing them,
# starting from the complete model.
# This regression is performed by relying on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), which translates into a penalty term equal to :math:`log(n)`.

# It is interesting to point out that although both approaches converge towards a model characterized by 2 predictive variables,
# the selected variables do not coincide.
# %%
# Both directions stepwise regression
# -----------------------------------

# can be either added or removed. In this case, a set of starting indices must be provided to the algorithm.
