Asymptotic Equivalence between Cross-Validations and Akaike Information Criteria in Mixed-Effects Models
نویسنده
چکیده
For model selection in mixed effects models, Vaida and Blanchard (2005) demonstrated that the marginal Akaike information criterion is appropriate as to the questions regarding the population and the conditional Akaike information criterion is appropriate as to the questions regarding the particular clusters in the data. This article shows that the marginal Akaike information criterion is asymptotically equivalent to the leave-one-cluster-out cross-validation and the conditional Akaike information criterion is asymptotically equivalent to the leave-one-observation-out cross-validation.

Model Selection Based on Tracking Interval Under Unified Hybrid Censored Samples
The aim of statistical modeling is to identify the model that most closely approximates the underlying process. Akaike information criterion (AIC) is commonly used for model selection but the precise value of AIC has no direct interpretation. In this paper we use a normalization of a difference of Akaike criteria in comparing between the two rival models under unified hybrid cens...
متن کاملAsymptotic Equivalence of Bayes Cross Validation and Widely Applicable Information Criterion in Singular Learning Theory
In regular statistical models, the leave-one-out cross-validation is asymptotically equivalent to the Akaike information criterion. However, since many learning machines are singular statistical models, the asymptotic behavior of the cross-validation remains unknown. In previous studies, we established the singular learning theory and proposed a widely applicable information criterion, the expe...
متن کاملUsing Profile Likelihood for Semiparametric Model Selection with Application to Proportional Hazards Mixed Models
We consider selection of nested and non-nested semiparametric models. Using profile likelihood we can define both a likelihood ratio statistic and an Akaike information for models with nuisance parameters. Asymptotic quadratic expansion of the log profile likelihood allows derivation of the asymptotic null distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic including the boundary cases, as well as u...
متن کاملSelection Criteria Based on Monte Carlo Simulation and Cross Validation in Mixed Models
In the mixed modeling framework, Monte Carlo simulation and cross validation are employed to develop an “improved” Akaike information criterion, AICi, and the predictive divergence criterion, PDC, respectively, for model selection. The selection and the estimation performance of the criteria is investigated in a simulation study. Our simulation results demonstrate that PDC outperforms AIC and A...
متن کاملBootstrap variants of the Akaike information criterion for mixed model selection
Two bootstrap-corrected variants of the Akaike information criterion are proposed for the purpose of small-sample mixed model selection. These two variants are asymptotically equivalent, and provide asymptotically unbiased estimators of the expected Kullback-Leibler discrepancy between the true model and a fitted candidate model. The performance of the criteria is investigated in a simulation s...
