The final estimate for Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) at the optimum.

Namespace: Imsl.Stat
Assembly: ImslCS (in ImslCS.dll) Version: 6.5.0.0

Syntax

C#
public double AIC { get; }
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property AIC As Double
Visual C++
public:
property double AIC {
	double get ();
}

Field Value

A double scalar value which is an approximation to \mbox{AIC} = -2\ln(L)+2p, where L is the value of the maximum likelihood function evaluated at the parameter estimates. The approximation uses the calculation
\mbox{AIC} \approx (\rm{n-maxlag})\ln({\hat {\sigma}}^2)+2(p+1)+(\rm{n-maxlag})(\ln(2\pi)+1),
where {\hat {\sigma}}^2 is an estimate of the residual variance of the series, commonly known in time series analysis as the innovation variance, and n is the number of observations in the time series z(n=z.Length).

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Imsl.Stat..::.MatrixSingularException is thrown if the input matrix is singular.
Imsl.Stat..::.TooManyCallsException is thrown if the number of calls to the function has exceeded the maximum number of iterations times the number of moving average (MA) parameters + 1.
Imsl.Stat..::.IncreaseErrRelException is thrown if the bound for the relative error is too small.
Imsl.Stat..::.NewInitialGuessException is thrown if the iteration has not made good progress.
Imsl.Stat..::.IllConditionedException is thrown if the problem is ill-conditioned.
Imsl.Stat..::.TooManyIterationsException is thrown if the maximum number of iterations is exceeded.
Imsl.Stat..::.TooManyFunctionEvaluationsException is thrown if the maximum number of function evaluations is exceeded.
Imsl.Stat..::.TooManyJacobianEvalException is thrown if the maximum number of Jacobian evaluations is exceeded.
Imsl.Stat..::.SingularTriangularMatrixException is thrown if the input triangular matrix is singular.
Imsl.Stat..::.NonStationaryException is thrown if the final maximum likelihood estimates for the time series are nonstationary.
