Example: "The research involved a stepwise procedure of data collection, analysis, and interpretation to ensure accuracy."
Alternatives: "a sequential process of" or "a systematic approach to".
This was performed by a stepwise procedure of discriminant analysis and also through a process of progressive single feature elimination using optimisation based classifiers.
We used a stepwise procedure of selection of variables, using Akaike's information criterion (AIC) to compare models and as the basis for our selection of the best model.
A stepwise procedure of multiple logistic regressions with pre-specified steps was used to analyse alterations of the associations between respiratory health indicators and SES (model I) by consecutively additional inclusion of occupational exposure (model II), tobacco smoke (model III) and environmental air pollution exposure (model IV) into the regression models.
