I have a set of data consisting
1 dependent variable and 7 other
independent variables.

using log regression, i will derive
127 output, how do I choose the
best 5 among these 127 for interpretating
as most will have different level of
adjusted R-square, t-stat and std error.

Pls advise

What do you mean by 127 output. Have you tested for a 7-way interaction, all 6-way interactions, all 5-way interactions, 4way, 3way, and 2way??
