In …Most traditional strategies of assessing the fit between a simulation's set of predictions (outputs) and a set of … relevant observations rely either on visual inspection or squared distances among averages. Here we introduce an alternative …

We derive the asymptotic theory of the maximum likelihood estimators and show they are consistent and asymptotically … comparisons of a consistent version of our $C_{p}$ statistic with BIC and a generalized RIC show that our statistic has superior … about the choice of model. On the way we introduce a new version of AIC for regression models, show that it estimates a …
