Circumscribing Circumscription: A Guide to Relevance and Incompleteness by Williams, Brian C.

“…Circumscription, proposed by McCarthy, is the formalization of a particularly important rule of conjecture likened to Occam's razor. That is, the set of all objects satisfying a certain property is the smallest set of objects that is consistent with what is known. …”

Bayesian model selection of lithium-ion battery models via Bayesian quadrature by Adachi, M, Kuhn, Y, Horstmann, B, Latz, A, Osborne, MA, Howey, DA

“…The model evidence is adopted as the selection metric, choosing the simplest model that describes the data, in the spirit of Occam's razor. However, estimating this requires integral computations over parameter space, which is usually prohibitively expensive. …”

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF FEATURE SELECTION METHODS ON THE SUCCESS OF OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS PREDICTION by Özlem Kuvat, Ümit Yılmaz

“…As a result of the analyses performed on the data set consisting of 23 features, 1 output and 1204 working days of information, the elastic net - multiple linear regression model, which selects 19 attributes, gave the best average R2 value compared to other models developed. Occam's razor principle is taken into account since there is not a great difference between the average R2 values obtained. …”
