The Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is a statistical measure used for model selection among a finite set of models. It estimates the goodness of fit of a model while penalizing for the number of parameters, helping to avoid overfitting. This criterion is especially useful when comparing multiple linear regression models, as it balances the complexity of the model with the likelihood of the data given that model.
congrats on reading the definition of Bayesian Information Criterion. now let's actually learn it.
