The Friedman statistic is employed for testing the possible differences between related samples by ranking the data. Similarly, we suggest ranking of competing models based on a specific multiple comparison procedure for identifying differences between models. As a non-parametric test statistic, it does not make assumptions regarding the underlying distribution of data, however, this procedure may require a large dataset since it relies on post estimation comparisons. %K Model Selection %K Econometric Model %K Friedman Statistic %K Prediction Performance %K Post Estimation Data %U http://www.pjsor.com/index.php/pjsor/article/view/285
