Explanatory Variable Selection

Explanatory Variable Selection is the systematic process of identifying and choosing independent variables that best account for variations in a dependent variable within a predictive model, distinguishing it from general model specification by focusing specifically on the relevance, significance, and theoretical or empirical justification of individual predictors in the context of workforce demand forecasting.
