> I have encountered a problem when perform stepwise regression.
> The dataset have more 9 independent variables, but 7 observation.
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I think
this is the problem.

> In R, before performing stepwise, a lm object should be given.
> fm <- lm(y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X11 + X22 + X33 + X12 + X13 + X23)
>
> However, summary(fm) will give:
>
> Residual standard error: NaN on 0 degrees of freedom
> Multiple R-Squared:     1,      Adjusted R-squared:   NaN
> F-statistic:   NaN on 6 and 0 DF,  p-value: NA
>
> In this situation, step() or stepAIC() will not give any useful information.
>
> I don't know why SAS could deal with this situation:
> PROC REG;
>  MODEL y=X1 X2 X3 X11 X22 X33 X12 X13 X23/SELECTION=STEPWISE;
> RUN;
>
> Any help will be really appreciated.
