Hi Simon,

❝ I think the issue maybe the text is slightly ambiguous and people read into it, "and then you stop", however it always went all the way back […] before selecting the value with the largest Adj-R-Sq. I think "If the adjusted R2 does not improve, but is within 0.0001 of the largest adjusted R2 value, the regression with the larger number of points is used." infers that but I've asked that we make it clearer in future iterations of the help that all points are assessed.

Exactly. I also thought for ages (since PCNONLIN V03.0 in 1991 😜) that it is a stepwise procedure working backwards and not calculating all regressions and finally ‘play the winner’. Might be obvious for you… A rewording will help confused people who are not native speakers of English.
