Multi-scale habitat selection modeling: introduction to the special issue

Introduction to the Special Issue on Model Selection

Model selection is an increasingly important part of sociological research. In most empirical work, the number of conceivable models is enormous. For example, in a linear regression analysis with v candidate independent variables, 2 models may be defined by using distinct subsets of those variables. If nonlinearities and interactions are considered, the number of possible models becomes far lar...

This is perhaps because test developers are more focused on defining and operationalizing test constructs than on issues of implementation. ...
