%X In the experimental field,
researchers need very often to select the best subset model as well as reach
the best model estimation simultaneously. Selecting the best subset of
variables will improve the prediction accuracy as noninformative variables will
be removed. Having a model with high prediction accuracy allows the researchers
to use the model for future forecasting. In this paper, we investigate the
differences between various variable selection methods. The aim is to compare
the analysis of the frequentist methodology (the backward elimination),
penalised shrinkage method (the Adaptive LASSO) and the Least Angle Regression (LARS)
for selecting the active variables for data produced by the blocked design
experiment. The result of the comparative study supports the utilization of the
LARS method for statistical analysis of data from blocked experiments.
