In practice the problem of comparing several treatments can often be formulated as which treatment can be considered best. Selection procedures have been designed specifically to answer questions like this one. In many situations selection procedures are more realistic than the usual testing procedures. In this paper an introduction and an overview of selection of populations will be given with special reference to Normal, Binomial, Poisson and Multinomial populations. In the field of agricultural applications these distributions play an important role. Bechhofer's and Gupta's approach are presented side by side for a number of problems. After that the relatively new procedures of Somerville are discussed. Finally, some recent results are presented.
