I don't think AICc is available in a standard script. A couple of
years ago, I modified the stepAIC script from the MASS package to use
AICc. If and when I get time for this again, I plan to redo it using a
more complete Bayesian analysis.
However, if you want to use AICc, you might consider modifying
stepAIC or downloading my "stepAIC.c" from
"www.prodsyse.com". This
code was last used under S-Plus 6.2 and would doubtless require some
effort to make it work under R.
Before you do either, however, I suggest you review earlier
discussions on this issue, especially comments by Prof. Ripley, if you
haven't already. You can find numerous comments by looking for
"AICc",
"AIC.c", "stepAIC.c", and "Burnham and Anderson"
with RSiteSearch.
