Statistical Inference
AIC, or Akaike Information Criterion, is a statistical tool used to measure the relative quality of a statistical model for a given dataset. It balances the goodness of fit of the model with its complexity, providing a means to choose among different models by penalizing overfitting. A lower AIC value indicates a better model, making it essential in fields like machine learning and data science for model selection.
congrats on reading the definition of AIC. now let's actually learn it.
