Here's a list I gathered some time ago. Many of them are just buzzwords form me! ‧ Adjusted R-squared (Wherry 1931) ‧ Bootstrap (Efron 1979) ‧ Cross-validation (Stone 1974; Geisser 1975) – Generalized cross-validation (GCV) (Craven and Wahba 1979) – k-fold cross-validation – Leave-one-out cross-validation ‧ Jacknife ‧ Linear regression ‧ Shibata's model selector (sms) (Shibata 1981) ‧ Signal-to-noise ratio ‧ Test set validation ‧ Akaike information criterion (AIC) – AIC (Akaike 1973) – AICc (Hurvich and Tsai 1989) – QAIC (Lebreton, et al. 1992) – QAICc (Lebreton, et al. 1992) – AICW (Wilks 1995) ‧ CAT (Parzen 1974, 1977) ‧ CP (Mallow's Cp) (Mallows 1973) ‧ Deviance information criterion (DIC) (Spiegelhalter, et al. 2002) ‧ FIC (Wei 1992) ‧ Final prediction error (FPE) (Akaike 1969) ‧ FPEα (Bhansali and Downham 1977) ‧ FPEC (de Luna 1998) ‧ FPER (Larsen and Hansen 1994) ‧ GM (Geweke and Meese 1981) ‧ Generalized prediction error (GPE) (Moody 1991, 1992) ‧ Hannan and Quinn Criterion (HQ) (Hannan and Quinn 1979) ‧ KIC (Cavanaugh 1999) ‧ KICc (Cavanaugh 2004) ‧ Minimum description length (MDL) (Rissanen 1978) ‧ Minimum message length (MML) (Wallace and Boulton 1968) ‧ Predicted squared error (PSE) (Barron 1984) ‧ PRESS (Allen 1974) ‧ Schwarz criterion (also Schwarz information criterion (SIC) or Bayesian information criterion (BIC) or Schwarz-Bayesian information criterion) (Schwarz 1978) ‧ Structural risk minimization (SRM) (Vapnik and Chervonenkis 1974) ‧ TIC (Takeuchi's information criterion) (Takeuchi 1976) ‧ VC-dimension (Vapnik and Chervonekis 1968, 1971; Vapnik 1979) _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
