Really? I always thought MSE was the go-to.

I’m torn between AIC and R-squared. I know AIC is often used in model selection, but I can't recall if it specifically applies to forward selection in GLMSELECT.

I’m pretty confident that MSE is not the selection criterion for forward selection; it’s usually about model fit, so maybe it’s AIC or R-squared.

I remember practicing with similar questions, and I feel like R-squared was mentioned a lot, but it might not be the right choice here.

I think the forward selection method uses AIC as the selection criterion, but I'm not entirely sure.

Ah, I remember now! The forward selection method in GLMSELECT uses the R-squared statistic to determine which variables to add to the model at each step. Option C is the correct answer.

The selection criterion is definitely not MSE, that's used for other model selection methods. I think it's either R-squared or AIC, but I'm leaning more towards R-squared since that's a common metric used in forward selection.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know forward selection is a stepwise regression technique, but I can't remember the exact selection criterion they use. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the forward selection method in GLMSELECT uses R-squared as the selection criterion, so I'll go with option C.

Nah, it's just a fancy way of saying 'regression'. Though I bet the GLMSELECT dance would be a hit!

I'm going to go with A. RSQ. It's close to R-squared, and it just sounds like the kind of thing the GLMSELECT procedure would use.

B. MSE seems like the right answer to me. That's usually the go-to metric for evaluating model performance.

I'm pretty sure it's D. AIC, because the GLMSELECT procedure is used for model selection, and AIC is a common selection criterion.
