Hi,

Happy New Year!

Can you explain to me the meaning of the N and K in AIC formula. K is the number of the model parameters, and N is the number of datapoints? Am I right?


Kind regards,
Dominik

Thank you. In formulas, n occurs in both cases (n and N). I am not pretty sure why. Is N used for normally distributed data?

Kind regards,
Dominik

If you are talking about this page, then I think N and n are the same.

Please look at this

There are N and n and for skewness both are used in the same formula (gamma 1).

Kind regards,
Dominik

In the Statistics on Columns tool dialog, under the Computation Control tab, you can set different Varaicne Disisor of Moment --- DF, N, WDF, WS, WVR. The capital N in the page means using sample size n as the divisor to calculate the moment.
