performance_aicc {performance} | R Documentation |
Compute the AIC or the second-order Akaike's information criterion (AICc).
performance_aic()
is a small wrapper that returns the AIC, however, for
models with a transformed response variable, performance_aic()
returns the
corrected AIC value (see 'Examples'). It is a generic function that also
works for some models that don't have a AIC method (like Tweedie models).
performance_aicc()
returns the second-order (or "small sample") AIC that
incorporates a correction for small sample sizes.
performance_aicc(x, ...) performance_aic(x, ...) ## Default S3 method: performance_aic(x, estimator = "ML", verbose = TRUE, ...)
x |
A model object. |
... |
Currently not used. |
estimator |
Only for linear models. Corresponds to the different
estimators for the standard deviation of the errors. If |
verbose |
Toggle warnings. |
performance_aic()
correctly detects transformed response and,
unlike stats::AIC()
, returns the "corrected" AIC value on the original
scale. To get back to the original scale, the likelihood of the model is
multiplied by the Jacobian/derivative of the transformation.
Numeric, the AIC or AICc value.
