Abstract: Summary We develop a computationally feasible intelligent data mining and knowledge discovery technique to select the best subset of predictors in multivariate regression (MR) models. Our approach integrates novel statistical modeling procedures based on the information-theoretic measure of complexity (ICOMP) criterion with the genetic algorithm (GA). When ICOMP is used as the fitness function, the GA, which by itself is an extremely clever non-local optimization algorithm, becomes an intelligent statistical model selection device capable of pruning combinatorially large numbers of sub-models to obtain an optimal or near-optimal subset MR model of multivariate data. We demonstrate our approach by determining the best predictors of taste and odor in a Japanese rice wine (i.e., sake) data set.
