Information
- Description
- Module 2, Lecture 5 No Learning Outcomes, but Summary: • Bayesian and Information Theory approaches: alternatives to null-hypothesis testing • AIC determines the model of best fit with the number of parameters • AIC is NOT a measurement of support for a model • Model averaging recognises uncertainty in models by calculating average parameters weighted by Akaike weights • Note: CANNOT undo bad sampling or poor experimental design
