As for specific examples and more details they may be found scattered among specific meta-methodological disciplines (measurement theory, algorithmic learning theory, statistical learning theory, complexity theory), but I have not found a systematic treatment, thus the question. If you wish to discuss these issues generally, you may email me at johnnylogic at gmail. | |

Taylor | While model selection typically involves the scoring of models within a family of distributions, based on their fit and penalizing the number of parameters used (a la AIC and BIC), whereas method selection is more general. Method selection involves being faced with a problem (e.g. test, classify, predict) for which we have some background knowledge (variables are known to be (e.g. independence, data type), and for which auxiliary assumptions are made (e.g. normality, homoscedasticity), and we must select a method. | |
