I have wondered about the pronounciation of Akaike for years. Is it A-ka-ee-kay or A-Ky-Kay or something else?

Sebastian,
Perhaps you can use the natural log of the residual sum of squares, e.g.,
AIC = n*ln(SSR) + 2*k
BIC = n*ln(SSR) + k*ln(n)
where n is the sample size and k is the number of estimated parameters.

My two cents,
Cam
