In recent years an impressive array of publications has appeared claiming considerable successes of neural networks in modelling ยฎnancial data but sceptical practitioners and statisticians are still raising the question of whether neural networks really are `a major breakthrough or just a passing fa

## Abstract Variable selection is growing in importance with the advent of high throughput genotyping methods requiring analysis of hundreds to thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the increased interest in using these genetic studies to better understand common, complex diseases
Specification of an appropriate model is critical to valid statistical inference. Given the ยชtrue modelยบ for the data is unknown, the goal of model selection is to select a plausible approximating model that balances model bias and sampling variance. Model selection based on information criteria suc
Regression rnodel validation by permutation tests was explored. Especially in cases where the rnodel significance is doubtful, a permutation test adds crucial information which can often can be decisive for the existence of the rnodel. The background and applicability of the test procedure are descr
