Selecting a Predictor Weighting Method by PRESS.
Morris, John D.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v46 n4 p853-69 Win 1986
An empirical method (PRESS) for examining and contrasting the cross-validated prediction accuracies of some popular algorithms for weighting predictor variables was advanced and examined. The sample specific PRESS method was suggested as most appropriate when selecting among several alternative weighting algorithms to achieve maximum cross-validated prediction accuracy. (Author/LMO)
