Exploratory modelling analysis: visualizing the value of variables

  • Conference paper
  • 1500 Accesses

Abstract

Many models may fit the same dataset almost equally well. Some variables may be included in all these models, some variables may be exchangeable, some may only appear in a few models. This talk discusses ways of visualizing and assessing the contribution variables make to individual models and the contribution they make to model ensembles.
