Uncertainty ubiquitously exists in any data modeling process, making it challenging to identify the optimal models among many potential candidates. This article proposesan uncertainty-informed method to address the model selection problem. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on a dataset generated from a complex system model. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and its superiority over conventional approaches. This method has minimal requirements for the length of training data and model types, making it applicable for various modeling frameworks.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nThe typical process of data-driven modeling involves several stages including data collection, preprocessing, model training and model validation. For most data-driven modeling methods, it is often necessary to define some training parameters prior to model training. For instance, when building a neural network model, parameters such as the number of epochs, the estimation/optimization algorithm, evaluation metrics, and network structure (including layer types, number of layers, and neurons per layer) must be specified first [1], [2] .
