-
This review surveys a number of common model selection algorithms (MSAs), discusses how they relate to each other and identifies factors that explain their relative performances. At the heart of MSA performance is the trade-off between type I and type II errors. Some relevant variables will be mistakenly excluded, and some irrelevant variables will be retained by chance.
