+ (description
+ "Statistical models are simple mathematical rules derived from empirical
data describing
+the association between an outcome and several explanatory variables. In a
+typical modeling situation statistical analysis often involves a large number
of
+potential explanatory variables and frequently only partial subject-matter
+knowledge is available. Therefore, selecting the most suitable variables for a
+model in an objective and practical manner is usually a non-trivial task. This
+package performs augmented backward elimination and checks the stability of the
+obtained model. Augmented backward elimination combines significance or
+information based criteria with the change in estimate to either select the
+optimal model for prediction purposes or to serve as a tool to obtain a
+practically sound, highly interpretable model.")
