In statistics, the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) or Schwarz criterion (also SBC, SBIC) is a criterion for model selection among a finite set of models. It is based, in part, on the likelihood function, and it is closely related to Akaike information criterion (AIC). 6, record 1, English, - Bayesian%20information%20criterion
