About this product
Product Information
Excerpt from Alternative Tests for the Selection of Model Variables One of the most difficult and subtle tasks confronting the mathematical model-builder is the selection of appropriate variables and functional relationships for his model. In specifying each equation, the modeler faces two distinct problems. First, he must posit a priori hypotheses about the variables or factors which he believes are important causes of change in the dependent variable of that equation. Second, once such hypotheses have been advanced, the modeler must have some means of testing whether or not, given the available empirical information, those variables which a priori reasoning has led him to consider should be included in the model. Based on the results of such testing, the modeler may be led to reject certain variables as being relatively unimportant, and may thereby begin to refine his initial causal hypotheses. This paper is addressed to the second aspect of the problem of variable selection - testing the importance of initially-hypothesized variables. The paper examines a variety of tests used by model-builders to aid in the selection of model variables and demonstrates that some are far better suited to the task than others. In particular, the paper suggests that the only tests which provide a sound basis for including or excluding an individual variable are tests which examine the variable's impact on overall model behavior. Conversely, the single-equation statistical tests employed extensively in the social sciences are shown to be inadequate for rejecting or accepting a variable in a causal model.

This might have been reprinted from Google's scan of the book. The scan is missing four pages and this book is missing the same pages. Printing quality is not sharp like an original but rather like it was printed from a bad scan. Quality was lacking on the whatever they printed it from. Otherwise, the book is well done, neutral rating.
