This function computes the optimal model parameters using three different model selection criteria (aic, bic, gmdl).

information.criteria(RSS, DoF, yhat = NULL, sigmahat, n, criterion = "bic")

Arguments

RSS

vector of residual sum of squares.

DoF

vector of Degrees of Freedom. The length of DoF is the same as the length of RSS.

yhat

vector of squared norm of yhat. The length of yhat is the same as the length of RSS. It is only needed for gmdl. Default value is NULL.

sigmahat

Estimated model error. The length of sigmahat is the same as the length of RSS.

n

number of observations.

criterion

one of the options "aic", "bic" and "gmdl".

Value

DoF

degrees of freedom

score

vector of the model selection criterion

par

index of the first local minimum of score

Details

The Akaike information criterion (aic) is defined as $${aic}= \frac{{RSS}}{n} + 2\frac{{DoF}}{n} \sigma^ 2\,.$$ The Bayesian information criterion (bic) is defined as $${bic}= \frac{{RSS}}{n} + log(n)\frac{{DoF}}{n} \sigma^ 2\,.$$ The generalized minimum description length (gmdl) is defined as $$gmdl=\frac{n}{2}log(S)+\frac{DoF}{2}log(F)+\frac{1}{2}log(n)$$ with $$S=\hat \sigma ^2$$ Note that it is also possible to use the function information.criteria for other regression methods than Partial Least Squares.
