ExtractAIC.glm {HelpersMG}

Return AIC, AICc or BIC from a glm object

Description

For glm fits the family's aic() function is used to compute the AIC.
The choice between different criteria is done by setting a global option AIC. It can be checked using show.option=TRUE. Indeed, it is not possible to use the ... parameter due to a bug in some functions of MASS package. If you want to use this function as a replacement for setpAIC(), do extractAIC.glm <- ExtractAIC.glm before.

Usage

ExtractAIC.glm(fit, scale = 0, k = 2, ...)

Arguments

fit

fitted model, the result of a fitter glm.

scale

unused for glm.

k

numeric specifying the ‘weight’ of the equivalent degrees of freedom (=: edf) part in the AIC formula.

...

further arguments (currently unused because addterm.glm and dropterm.glm using this function do not transmit them).

Details

ExtractAIC.glm returns AIC, AICc or BIC from a glm object

Value

A numeric named vector of length 2, with first and second elements giving
edf the ‘equivalent degrees of freedom’ for the fitted model fit.
x the Information Criterion for fit.
