util_inverse_burr_aic {TidyDensity}

Calculate Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for Inverse Burr Distribution

Description

This function estimates the shape1, shape2, and rate parameters of an inverse Burr distribution from the provided data using maximum likelihood estimation, and then calculates the AIC value based on the fitted distribution.

Usage

util_inverse_burr_aic(.x)

Arguments

.x

A numeric vector containing the data to be fitted to an inverse Burr distribution.

Details

This function calculates the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for an inverse Burr distribution fitted to the provided data.

This function fits an inverse Burr distribution to the provided data using maximum likelihood estimation. It estimates the shape1, shape2, and rate parameters of the inverse Burr distribution using maximum likelihood estimation. Then, it calculates the AIC value based on the fitted distribution.

Initial parameter estimates: The function uses the method of moments estimates as starting points for the shape1, shape2, and rate parameters of the inverse Burr distribution.

Optimization method: The function uses the optim function for optimization. You might explore different optimization methods within optim for potentially better performance.

Goodness-of-fit: While AIC is a useful metric for model comparison, it's recommended to also assess the goodness-of-fit of the chosen model using visualization and other statistical tests.

Value

The AIC value calculated based on the fitted inverse Burr distribution to the provided data.
