• full_model: An object of class lm.

Returns

Sawa's Bayesian Information Criterion

Details

Sawa (1978) developed a model selection criterion that was derived from a Bayesian modification of the AIC criterion. Sawa's Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is a function of the number of observations n, the SSE, the pure error variance fitting the full model, and the number of independent variables including the intercept.

where $q = n(\sigma^2)/SSE$, n is the sample size, p is the number of model parameters including intercept SSE is the residual sum of squares.

Examples

full_model <- lm(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars)
model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_sbic(model, full_model)
