Abstract
The statistical inference concerning the encompassing relation is the main object of this chapter. In general, theoretical considerations of the real world phenomena under study should narrow the scope to plausible models. If then we are left with a number of competing models which all have a sound theoretical basis, it is only natural to conduct statistical inference in order to assess the relative merits of these models. The significance of the encompassing relation for empirical model building justifies this interest.
