hi all

is there a package that undertakes subset selection but BASED ON AIC or
any other information criteria.

i've seen the "subselect" and the "leaps" package but i have not played
around with them yet.

thanx

in what model, glm or gam? I believe you can use aic in both.

The leaps package finds a best model of each size, so all the standard 
criteria are equivalent. It can report AIC or BIC for each of these 
models.
