VariableSelection: Select Variables for Linear Models

Provides variable selection for linear models and generalized linear models using Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and model posterior probability (MPP). Given a set of candidate predictors, it evaluates candidate models and returns model-level summaries (BIC and MPP) and predictor-level posterior inclusion probabilities (PIP). For more details see Xu, S., Ferreira, M. A., & Tegge, A. N. (2025) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.02628>.
