Even if model A fits the data significantly better than model B, we still don't know at what extent model A fits the data. Maybe both A and B are far away from the truth." This requires that "far away" be defined. Assuming that one can specify a tolerance (such as such-and-such mean squared error), and one has a representative set of observations, then error may be estimated via resampling and a decision reached by simple comparison. -Will Dwinnell http://will.dwinnell.com . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
