Build regression model from a set of candidate predictor variables by removing predictors based on akaike information criterion, in a stepwise manner until there is no variable left to remove any more.

blr_step_aic_backward
returns an object of class
"blr_step_aic_backward"
. An object of class
"blr_step_aic_backward"
is a list containing the following components:
model with the least AIC; an object of class glm
candidate predictor variables
total number of steps
variables removed from the model
akaike information criteria
bayesian information criteria
deviances
