The Minimum Description Length principle (MDL) and Bayesian inference are shown to give empirical approximations of the razor via an analysis that significantly extends existing results on the asymptotics of Bayesian model selection. I treat parametric families as manifolds embedded in the space of distributions and derive a canonical metric... Balasubramanian, Vijay
