How good is crude MDL for solving the bias-variance dilemma? An empirical investigation based on Bayesian networks.

The bias-variance dilemma is a well-known and important problem in Machine Learning. It basically relates the generalization capability (goodness of fit) of a learning method to its corresponding complexity. When we have enough data at hand, it is possible to use these data in such a way so as to mi...
