AIC.oglmx: Calculate Akaike Information Criterion

Description

Calculates the Akaike Information Criterion for objects of class oglmx. Calculate using the formula \(-2*loglikelihood + k*npar\) where \(npar\) represents the number of parameters in the model and \(k\) is the cost of additional parameters, equal to 2 for the AIC, it is \(k=\log(n)\) with \(n\) the number of observations for the BIC.

Usage

# S3 method for oglmx
AIC(object, ..., k = 2)

Arguments

object

object of class oglmx

additional arguments. Currently ignored.

k

the penalty per parameter to be used.

Value

A numeric value with the AIC.

Details

When comparing models by maximium likelihood estimation the smaller the value of the AIC the better.
