Model selection

  • Please report on the fit of your model

    • E.g., R2, Adj. R2, F test (for regressions)
    • E.g., Log likelihood test against a null model, hit rate, hit probabilities (for Logit models)
    • Validation on a holdout sample
  • If you have estimated “competing” models, show the fit statistics for all models, and then motivate your final model choice.

  • Provide diagnostic plots, where appropriate.
