Consider the solar thermal energy test data in Table B.2.

a. Use forward selection to specify a subset regression model.
b. Use backward elimination to specify a subset regression model.
c. Use stepwise regression to specify a subset regression model.
d. Apply all possible regressions to the data. Evaluate \(R_{p}^{2}, C_{p}\), and \(M S_{\text {Res }}\) for each model. Which subset model do you recommend?
e. Compare and contrast the models produced by the variable selection strategies in parts a-d.
