Monte Carlo averages of model accuracy indices: free-energy, goodness-of-fit (SSE) and estimation loss (SEL) as functions of the class stochastic systems.

		Double-well	Lorenz	van der Pol
Free-energy	Native model	−1.98×103a	1.04×106	−5.55× 102a
	Generic model	−3.04×103	1.05×106a	−8.83× 102
log SSE	Native model	0.53 a	0.37 a	3.58
	Generic model	0.60	0.72	2.93 a
log-SEL	Native model	3.32 a	4.24 a	4.00 a
	Generic model	6.29	6.98	5.01

^aIndicates a significant difference between the true and generic models (one-sample paired $t$-test, 5% confidence level, df=49). Grey cells indicate which of the two models (true or generic) are best with respect to the three indices.
