Mallow's Model Averaging (MMA) considers all nested submodels of the full model as candidate models, i.e if there are 7 variables there are 7 candidate models. The weight vector used to combine the respective estimates is chosen such that a certain Mallow's type criterion is minimized. The final weighted estimate targets to minimize the mean squared prediciton error and is optimal in some sense, see Theorem 1 and Lemma 3 in Hansen, B. (2007, Least Squares Model Averaging, Econometrica, 75:1175-1189).
Note however that the results of MMA depend on the ordering of the regresssors.
