Overview

This work covers the philosophy of model-based data analysis and provides an omnibus strategy for the analysis of empirical data. It introduces information theoretical approaches and focuses critical attention on a priori modelling and the selection of a good approximating model that best represents the inference supported by the data. Kullback-Leibler information represents a fundamental quantity in science and is Hirotugu Akaike's basis for model selection. The maximized log-likelihood function can be bias-corrected to provide an estimate of expected, relative Kullback-Leibler information. This leads to Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and various extensions. The information theoretic approaches seek to provide a unified theory, an extension of likelihood theory.
