This macro was written by Kim Murray Berger and Mary M. Conner based on a Dominance Analysis macro written by Razia Azen and Robert Ceurvorst (<a href="http://www.uwm.edu/~azen/damacro.html">http://www.uwm.edu/~azen/damacro.html</a>). Hierarchical Partitioning analysis quantifies the importance of each predictor as its average contribution to the model r-square, across all possible models. <em>Note</em>: This program is limited to at most 10 predictors! </p> </blockquote>
