util_t_aic {TidyDensity}

Calculate Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for t Distribution

Description

This function estimates the parameters of a t distribution from the provided data using maximum likelihood estimation, and then calculates the AIC value based on the fitted distribution.

Usage

util_t_aic(.x)

Arguments

.x

A numeric vector containing the data to be fitted to a t distribution.

Details

This function calculates the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for a t distribution fitted to the provided data.

This function fits a t distribution to the input data using maximum likelihood estimation and then computes the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) based on the fitted distribution.

Value

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