From: Moiety modeling framework for deriving moiety abundances from mass spectrometry measured isotopologues

Selection Criterion

Equation

Akaike Information Criterion (AIC)

2k + nln(RSS/n)

Sample size corrected AIC (AICc)

AIC + (2k2 + 2k)/(n − k − 1)

Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC)

nln(RSS/n) + kln(n)

  1. k is the number of parameters
  2. n is the number of data points
  3. RSS is the residual sum of squares: RSS = \( \sum \limits_{i=1}^n{\left({I}_{obs}-{I}_{calc}\right)}^2 \)
