This method is a new class of model selection strategies,
for mixed model selection, which includes linear and generalized linear
mixed models. The idea involves a procedure to isolate a subgroup of what
are known as correct models (of which the optimal model is a member). This is
accomplished by constructing a statistical fence, or barrier, to carefully
eliminate incorrect models. Once the fence is constructed, the optimal model is
selected from among those within the fence according to a criterion which can
be made flexible.
