A Comparison of the Akaike and Schwarz Criteria for Selecting Model Order

Abstract: SUMMARY The object of this paper is to compare the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the Schwarz information criterion (SIC) when they are applied to the crucial and difficult task of choosing an order for a model in time series analysis. These order selection criteria are used to fit state space models. Models are fitted to a set of monthly time series randomly selected from the series used in the Makridakis competition (1982). All series are composed of real data. The AIC and SIC indicate different mode… Show more

“…It is interesting to note that the best fitting model is not unambiguously from using AIC or SIC. This is a common problem that has been discussed in other studies such as Koehler and Murphree (1988). The only instance when AIC does not improve upon the base models is in the case of lung cancer, which suggests the use of 34 groups, which is unusually high based on the other selections.…”

“…Both AIC and SIC provide a basis upon which to select from nested models by minimizing the associated criteria. However, Koehler and Murphree (1988) point out that in their analysis the two criteria indicate different models 27% of the time. Their research suggests that SIC is often preferred due to the improved predication accuracy from SIC-preferred models.…”

“…Additionally, optimal lag period selection is important, with the two appropriate rules of the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwartz information criterion (SIC) rules. As per Koehler and Murphree (1988), AIC is only a convenient construction loosely derived from maximum likelihood and has negative outcome, the SIC is strongly connected to the Bayesian theory. Therefore, this study uses the SIC rule to determine the optimum lagged term as follows.…”

“…Cependant, quelques auteurs, Hannan et Quinn (1979) par exemple, pour les modèles AR, ont étudié les performances des critères dans des cas où il n'existe pas de vrai ordre fi ni. Des études de simulation de ce type sont Hannan et Quinn (1979), Geweke et Meese (1981), Lütkepohl (1985), Koehler et Murphree (1988), Mills et Prasad (1992), Ducharme (1997) et Anderson et al (1998). Comme le présent article, toutes ces études traitent du problème de l'estimation de la meilleure représentation d'un processus et non pas de l'estimation d'une caractérisation d'un processus de nuisance à utiliser dans des tests d'hypothèses.…”
