By using Akaike Information Criterion(AIC) to compare various models , We need to consider 16 models to find the one with lowest AIC.
The study of statistics focuses on gathering, organizing, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data.
A mathematical tool for assessing how well a model matches the data it was derived from is the Akaike information criterion (AIC).
It's formula is:
AIC=2k-2ln(L)
predictors=independent variables=3
k=independent variables+1=4
Categorical variable= 4 levels
Total number of models to be considered = 4 * 4 =16
Since, Every layer (characteristics of variable) must interact with the predictors variable to calculate AIC and find the lowest one.
