On the asymptotic behavior of Akaike's BIC

Author

  • Reschenhofer, Erhard

Abstract

It is shown that in the linear normal regression model asymptotically the expected value of the penalty term implied by the Akaike-BIC can, under certain circumstances, be smaller than that implied by the AIC. Consequences for consistency are discussed.
