Empirical Modeling:

Optimized Set Reduction

Problem

• it is very difficult to make valid assumptions about the relationships between the variables and the probability distributions of variables on their ranges;
• data sets can contain both continuous and discrete explanatory variables;
• outliers can occur for both explanatory and dependent variables;
• the interdependencies of explanatory variables can affect the understandability of models but are not always harmful to their accuracy;
• an independent variable may be a much stronger facotr on a particular part of its range/value domain;
• missing information is a common problem in software measurement.
