Docs: Avoid slightly imprecise formulations #405

Closed fweber144 closed 1 year ago

fweber144 commented 1 year ago

This PR concerns the documentation and mainly avoids the term "variable selection" where strictly speaking, it is not quite appropriate because no final selection is performed (not even the selection of a size). For example, this is the case for varsel() and cv_varsel() runs. Of course, these functions do run a search and therefore also some kind of selection, but throughout the docs (and the vignette), the term "selection" is rather reserved to the final selection of a submodel or of a submodel size.
