We consider selection of nested and non-nested semiparametric models. Using profile likelihood we can define both a likelihood ratio statistic and an Akaike information for models with nuisance parameters. Asymptotic quadratic expansion of the log profile likelihood allows derivation of the asymptotic null distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic including the boundary cases, as well as u...

Using an innovations state space approach, it has been found that the Akaike information criterion (AIC) works slightly better, on average, than prediction validation on withheld data, for choosing between the various common methods of exponential smoothing for forecasting. There is, however, a puzzle. Should the count of the seed states be incorporated into the penalty term in the AIC formula?...

Information fit indexes such as Akaike Information Criterion, Consistent Akaike Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, and the expected cross validation index can be valuable in assessing the relative fit of structural equation models that differ regarding restrictiveness. In cases in which models without mean restrictions (i.e., saturated mean structure) are compared to models ...

We review the Akaike, deviance, and Watanabe-Akaike information criteria from a Bayesian perspective, where the goal is to estimate expected out-of-sample-prediction error using a biascorrected adjustment of within-sample error. We focus on the choices involved in setting up these measures, and we compare them in three simple examples, one theoretical and two applied. The contribution of this p...

 Poisson regression merupakan salah satu model regresi yang dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara variabel respon berupa data count dengan prediktor count, kontinu, kategorik atau campuran syarat terjadi equidispersion yaitu nilai variansi dari harus sama rata-ratanya. Namun sering adalah pelanggaran terhadap equidispersion. Generalized Regression (GPR) suatu lebih dan...
