Use Akaike (AIC) and Schwartz (SC) information criterions in the differentiation between nonlinear growth models of different fish species


Abstract in English

The Akaike information criterion (AIC) is a measure of the relative quality of statistical models for a given set of data. The Schwarz Criterion (SC) is a measure to help in the selection between candidate models.
