Computes BIC for ordinary least squares

BIC(obs_list, crit_value, param_nb)

Arguments

obs_list

List of observed values to use for parameter estimation. A named list (names = situations names) of data.frame containing one column named Date with the dates (Date or POSIXct format) of the different observations and one column per observed variables with either the measured values or NA, if the variable is not observed at the given date. See details section for more information on the list of observations actually used during the parameter estimation process.

crit_value

Final value of the estimated criterion

param_nb

Number of estimated parameters

Value

Value of the BIC criterion for ordinary least squares. If called without arguments, returns a named list with element "name" containing the name of the function and "species" containing "Information criterion"
