AIC.pgam: AIC extraction

In pgam: Poisson-Gamma Additive Models

AIC extraction

Description

Method for approximate Akaike Information Criterion extraction.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'pgam'
AIC(object, k = 2, ...)

Arguments

object	object of class pgam holding the fitted model
k	default is 2 for AIC. If k=\log≤ft(n\right) then an approximation for BIC is obtained. Important to note that these are merely approximations.
...	further arguments passed to method

Details

An approximate measure of parsimony of the Poisson-Gama Additive Models can be achieved by the expression

AIC=≤ft(D≤ft(y;\hatμ\right)+2gle\right)/≤ft(n-τ\right)

where gle is the number of degrees of freedom of the fitted model and τ is the index of the first non-zero observation.

Value

The approximate AIC value of the fitted model.
