EVRI-thing You Need to Know About Improving Models with Variable Selection

Apr 15, 2020

Professor Rasmus Bro of the University of Copenhagen presents.

Want more accurate predictions? Easier model interpretation? Sparse models? Less expensive measurements? There are many reasons for doing variable selection. In this webinar we will show how easy it is to do and how it can improve your models. Using different examples we will show how variable selection can make your models simpler and/or better.
