  2. The Akaike criterion of model choice k: number of model parameters +1 L: maximum likelihood estimate of the model The preferred model is the one with the lowest AIC. If the parameter errors are normal and independent we get n: number data points RSS: residual sums of squares If we fit using R2: If we fit using c2: At small sample size we should use the following correction
