olsrr (version 0.4.0)

ols_sbc: SBC

Description

Bayesian Information Criterion

Usage

ols_sbc(model, method = c("R", "STATA", "SAS"))

Arguments

model

an object of class lm

method

a character vector; specify the method to compute BIC. Valid options include R, STATA and SAS

Value

Bayesian Information Criterion

Details

SBC provides a means for model selection. Given a collection of models for the data, SBC estimates the quality of each model, relative to each of the other models. R and STATA use loglikelihood to compute SBC. SAS uses residual sum of squares. Below is the formula in each case:

R & STATA $$AIC = -2(loglikelihood) + ln(n) * 2p$$

SAS $$AIC = n * ln(SSE / n) + p * ln(n)$$

where n is the sample size and p is the number of model parameters including intercept.
