The literature provides several different algorithms for instance selection. That is, while one algorithm performs well on some instances, it performs. For example, if an instance has many similar instances with the same label around it, the instance should be more representative than others. Since we computed the performance in the worst case, we know that the selection sort will never need more than 15 comparisons regardless of how the six numbers are originally ordered.
