crit	a function defining the model selection criterion. You can use your own function or one of these: bic, mbic, mbic2, aic, maic, maic2.
...	optional arguments to crit.
maxf	a numeric, a maximal number of variables in the final model.

Examples

set.seed(1)
n <- 30
p <- 10
X <- matrix(rnorm(n * p), ncol = p)
y <- X[, 2] + 2*X[, 3] - X[, 6] + rnorm(n)
d <- prepare_data(y, X)
fast_forward(d)
