aic: Akaike Information Criterion

In nadiv: (Non)Additive Genetic Relatedness Matrices

Akaike Information Criterion

Description

Calculates AIC/AICc values, AIC differences, Likelihood of models, and model probabilities.

Usage

aic(logLik, fp, n = NULL)

Arguments

logLik	A vector of model log-Likelihoods
fp	A vector containing the numbers of free parameters of each model included in the logLik vector
n	An optional vector of sample sizes for each model. Used to calculate AICc (small sample unbiased AIC).

Details

Calculations and notation follows chapter 2 of Burnham and Anderson (2002).

Value

a list:

AIC

vector containing AIC/AICc (depending on value of n)

delta_AIC

vector containing AIC differences from the minimum AIC(c)

AIClik

vector containing likelihoods for each model, given the data. Represents the relative strength of evidence for each model.

w

Akaike weights.
