Abstract: this paper is to provide such a comparison, and more importantly, to describe the general conclusions to which it has led. Relying on evidence that is divided between controlled experimental results and related formal analysis, we compare three well-known model selection algorithms. We attempt to identify their relative and absolute strengths and weaknesses, and we provide some general methods for analyzing the behavior and performance of model selection algorithms. Our hope is that these... (Update)
