ols_aic: Akaike information criterion

In olsrr: Tools for Building OLS Regression Models

Description

Akaike information criterion for model selection.

Usage

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

Arguments

model	An object of class lm.
method	A character vector; specify the method to compute AIC. Valid options include R, STATA and SAS.

Details

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

R & STATA

AIC = -2(loglikelihood) + 2p

SAS

AIC = n * ln(SSE / n) + 2p

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

Value

Akaike information criterion of the model.

Examples

# using R computation method
model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_aic(model)

# using STATA computation method
model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_aic(model, method = 'STATA')

# using SAS computation method
model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_aic(model, method = 'SAS')
