The preceding simulation sets may create the impression that the inclusion of the Fisher information term in SIC provides additional protection against overfitting at the cost of marginally increasing the likelihood of underfitting. Although the term often behaves in this manner, it would be incorrect to characterize the correction as merely an additional penalty term. To illustrate this point, our last simulation set (Table VII) features a setting where the correction provides protection against both overfitting and underfitting.
