Abstract: In this paper,we introduce the method of leaps and bounds regression which canbe used to select variables quickly and obtain the best regression models-These models con-tain one variable, two variables, three variables and so on-The results obtained by usingleaps and bounds regression were compared with those achieved by using stepwise regressionto lead to the conclusion that leaps and bounds regression is an effective method.

Key words: Regression by leaps and bounds, Stepwise regression, Correlation analysis
