Predictors are eliminated one-at-a-time from the model until we cannot improve the model any further. **Forward selection** is the reverse of the backward elimination technique. Instead, of eliminating predictors one-at-a-time, we add predictors one-at-a-time until we cannot find any predictors that improve the model any further.
