Dear R People:
In the step function(Stepwise regression), the model
uses the AIC value as its reduction criterion.
Is this the formula for AIC, please:
AIC = n ln(sigma^2) + 2*parms,
where sigma^2 is the estimate for MSE?
That''s what I thought the formula was, but when plugging in
the actual values, I''m getting a different answer for AIC.
Where did I go wrong, please?
Thanks yet again!
Sincerely,
