Information Theory
BIC, or Bayesian Information Criterion, is a criterion for model selection among a finite set of models. It provides a means of comparing how well different models fit a given data set while penalizing for the complexity of the model, thus discouraging overfitting. The lower the BIC value, the better the model is considered to be, as it indicates a good balance between fit and simplicity.
congrats on reading the definition of BIC. now let's actually learn it.
