Abstract

Due to the dramatic development of measuring instruments in recent years, a huge amount of large-scale data has been acquired in all research areas. Along with this, research method has changed, and data-driven methods are becoming important as the fourth scientific methodology. In the data-driven approach, the model is built according to the theory, knowledge, data, and further the purpose of the analysis. Once a model is built, useful information can be extracted from the data through the fitted model. In this data-driven method, it is crucial to use a good model and thud the evaluation of the model is essential in the success of the data-driven approach. This paper outlines the model evaluation criteria such as AIC, GIC, EIC, and so on, focusing on information criteria for evaluating prediction accuracy based on statistical models. Since \(L_1\) regularization is important in recent data analysis, the evaluation of the regularized model is also outlined.
