Approximate efficiency of a selection procedure for the number of regression variables
Department of Mathematics, Tokyo Institute of Technology Ohokayama, Meguro, Tokyo, Japan
A simple approximation formula for the efficiency of the generalized final prediction error, (FPE
), criterion is obtained. In connexion with the approximate efficiency, a procedure for choosing
is proposed together with a further generalization of the FPE
criterion.
