Hi all, I´d have a question regarding model selection with different distributions. When we want to decide the partition that best describes the data for a given distribution we go with that that gives the smallest entropy. However say we want to compare 2 different distributions d1 and d2 and the best fit for d1 gives an entropy value of e1 and for d2 e2 respectively. If e1 < e2, can we say that d1 describes better our data than d2? Best Regards, Enrique Castaneda -- Sent from: https://nabble.skewed.de/
