Optimize predictor variable selection for modeling height and biomass #65

We can optimize the selection of predictor variables. This can help:

  1. to reduce the dimensionality of the data that goes into our model building step.
  2. to automate the process for different sets of predictors.

In particular, we can explore the monte carlo variable selection approach described here: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0257502
