 Dear fellow R-ussers,
I have a question about the Akaike Information Criterion  in the  R 
output.
Normally you would want it to be as small as possible, yet when i check up 
the information in my study books, the AIC is usually displayed as a 
negative number. In the exercises it is given as " - AIC ".
R displays it as a positive number, does this mean that a large "AIC" 
gives a small " - AIC ", so the bigger the better?


Kind regards,
Tom.
