This information usually pertains to model complexity and is used to penalise excessively complex models.
There is a trade-off between within class model complexity and number of classes where more classes can compensate for a less complex within class structure [ 25, 26].
Model complexity and the bias-variance tradeoff.
Any model must consider the trade-off between model complexity and data availability30.

Moreover, by increasing the complexity of the network, also the model complexity and concomitantly the possible model solutions increase dramatically.
Warren, D. L. & Seifert, S. N. Ecological niche modeling in Maxent: the importance of model complexity and the performance of model selection criteria.
The abstracted model aims to reduce model complexity, and yet maintain validity.
However, solution quality, model complexity, and searching time have not been considered thoroughly.
This leads to further reduction in model complexity and in number of parameters.
