Model Selection Based on Minimum Description Length.
We introduce the minimum description length (MDL) principle, a general principle for inductive inference based on the idea that regularities (laws) underlying data can always be used to compress data. We introduce the fundamental concept of MDL, called the stochastic complexity, and we show how it can be used for model selection. We briefly compare MDL-based model selection to other approaches ...
متن کاملMinimum description length model selection of multinomial processing tree models.
Multinomial processing tree (MPT) modeling has been widely and successfully applied as a statistical methodology for measuring hypothesized latent cognitive processes in selected experimental paradigms. In this article, we address the problem of selecting the best MPT model from a set of scientifically plausible MPT models, given observed data. We introduce a minimum description length (MDL) ba...
متن کاملMinimum Description Length Model Selection Criteria for Generalized Linear Models
This paper derives several model selection criteria for generalized linear models (GLMs) following the principle of Minimum Description Length (MDL). We focus our attention on the mixture form of MDL. Normal or normal-inverse gamma distributions are used to construct the mixtures, depending on whether or not we choose to account for possible over-dispersion in the data. For the latter, we use E...
متن کاملAttribute-Value Selection Based on Minimum Description Length
We introduce a new method for attribute value selection, which is driven by the minimum description length principle. We demonstrate the viability of the approach on the Wisconsin breast cancer data set, show a working exa mple and evaluate the approach against earlier systems. Comparisons on different domains are also given. Empirical results show that our approach consistently outperforms com...
متن کاملInference of Phrase-Based Translation Models via Minimum Description Length
We present an unsupervised inference procedure for phrase-based translation models based on the minimum description length principle. In comparison to current inference techniques that rely on long pipelines of training heuristics, this procedure represents a theoretically wellfounded approach to directly infer phrase lexicons. Empirical results show that the proposed inference procedure has th...
