Mallows' Cp statistic estimates the size of the bias that is introduced into the predicted responses
by having an underspecified model. Use Mallows' Cp to choose between multiple regression models. Look for
models where Mallows' Cp is small and close to the number of predictors in the model plus the constant (p).
