A Unified Treatment of Predictive Model Comparison
Abstract
The predictive performance of any inferential model is critical to its practical success, but quantifying predictive performance is a subtle statistical problem. In this paper I show how the natural structure of any inferential problem defines a canonical measure of relative predictive performance and then demonstrate how approximations of this measure yield many of the model comparison techniques popular in statistics and machine learning.
