this function permits the estimation of the BIC for models for which the function 'BIC' from 'stats' packages does not work.
BICmodel(model = NULL, residuals = NULL, np = NULL)Arguments
- model
if provided, it is an R object from where the residuals and model parameters can be retrieved using resid(model) and coef(model), respectively.
- residuals
if provided, it is numerical vector with the residuals: residuals = observe.values - predicted.values, where predicted values are estimated from the model. If the parameter 'model' is not provided, then this parameter must be provided.
- np
number of model parameters. If the parameter 'model' is not provided, then 'np' and 'residuals' must be provided.
Value
BIC numerical value
Details
if for a given model 'm' BIC(m) works, then BICmodel(m) = BIC(m).

## The estimations of Akaike information criteria given by BIC' function
## from stats' R package and from 'AICmodel' function are equals.
round(BICmodel(nlm), 3) == round(BIC(nlm), 3)
#> [1] TRUE
## Now, using residuals from the fitted model:
res <- y - coef(nlm)[1] * exp(coef(nlm)[2] * x)
round(BICmodel(residuals = res, np = 2), 3) == round(BIC(nlm), 3)
#> [1] TRUE
