RE: Non-physiological parameters at lowest OBJ

From: Diane R. Mould <drmould@attglobal.net> Subject: RE: [NMusers] Non-physiological parameters at lowest OBJ Date: 8/5/2003 9:30 AM Bill I think that this is excellent advice, and good common sense. One of the primary aspects of modeling is to explain variability and there are definitely situations where one model may better explain variability and yet have a higher OBJ than another. I think its also important to develop a useful model as well. A model that has very inappropriate or unreasonable parameter estimates may be descriptive but is usually not predictive. So another question we have to add to the list is what do you plan to do with this model? Diane
