Key Points

The study aims to identify an effective algorithm for selecting significant and confounding variables in logistic regression.
Development of a macro algorithm for variable selection in logistic regression.
Evaluation of the algorithm's performance against traditional methods.
Implementation in a controlled environment to assess retention of significant covariates.
The algorithm successfully retains significant covariates more effectively than standard approaches.
High retention rates of confounding variables were observed, enhancing model accuracy.
Statistical analysis indicates improved predictive performance with the new tool.

Implication

Demonstrates a novel algorithm for variable selection in regression, indicating enhanced analytical precision.
