Generic for calculating the AIC — evaluate

evaluate_aic() is a a generic for evaluating the Akaike's 'An Information Criterion' for a given input

evaluate_aic(x, ...)

# S3 method for default
evaluate_aic(x, ...)

# S3 method for trending_model
evaluate_aic(x, data, as_tibble = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for list
evaluate_aic(x, data, ...)

Arguments

x: An R object.
...: Not currently used.
data: a data.frame containing data (including the response variable and all predictors) used in the specified model.
as_tibble: Should the result be returned as tibble (as_tibble = TRUE) or a list (as_tibble = FALSE).

Value

If as_tibble = TRUE, or the input is a list of models then the output will be a tibble with one row for each fitted model columns corresponding to output generated with single model input.

Details

Specific methods are given for trending_fit and lists of these models.
