We can cite among such methods of reducing the number of variables of a linear model, the principal component analysis, best subset selection, forward stepwise selection, etc. In this work, we present how to use the elitist genetic algorithm in order to select a collection of variables for a linear model. Besides that, we show the convergence of the elitist genetic algorithm to the set of all possible populations containing a solution of the problem under study, at the same time we will obtain solutions to the variable selection problem using the convergence of the elitist genetic algorithm.Acesso AbertoEstatística matemáticaAGEAICSeleção de variáveisProcessos estocásticosCadeias de MarkovmasterThesis
