Model Projections in Model Space: A Geometric Interpretation of the AIC Allows Estimating the Distance Between Truth and Approximating Models

Information criteria have had a profound impact on modern ecological science. They allow researchers to estimate which probabilistic approximating models are closest to the generating process. Unfortunately, information criterion comparison does not tell how good the best model is. In this work, we...
