| AICmodel {usefr} | R Documentation |
this function permits the estimation of the AIC for models for which the function 'AIC' from the 'stats' package does not work.
AICmodel(model = NULL, residuals = NULL, np = NULL)
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 = observed.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. |
if for a given model 'm' AIC(m) works, then AICmodel(m) = AIC(m).

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