[BOOK][B] Model selection and multimodel inference: a practical information-theoretic approach

Much of this chapter is new material not in the first edition. The rest is material moved from
other chapters because we judged it to be more distracting than helpful on a first reading of
introductory ideas. In either case we thought the material here did not fit well in a logical,
linear progression of introductory ideas about KL-based model selection and multimodel
inference under a confirmatory orientation with a relatively small set of models. There is no
natural ordering to the sections of this chapter; they can be read in any order.
Abstract
Much of this chapter is new material not in the first edition. The rest is material moved from other chapters because we judged it to be more distracting than helpful on a first reading of introductory ideas. In either case we thought the material here did not fit well in a logical, linear progression of introductory ideas about K-L-based model selection and multimodel inference under a confirmatory orientation with a relatively small set of models. There is no natural ordering to the sections of this chapter; they can be read in any order.
