Problem Note 57567: SAS® OpRisk VaR AIC and SBC (BIC) values are different in SAS® 9.4M2 than in SAS® 9.4M1 and earlier releases
In SAS OpRisk VaR, the AIC and SBC (BIC) calculations were changed in the SAS 9.4M2 release. Here is an example for SBC:
−2log(L)+k*log(n)
In the above, k represents the number of parameters in the model. In SAS 9.4M1 and earlier releases, the adjustment was done using the number of equality constraints.
−2log(L)+(k-#ofEqualityConstraints)*log(n)
Starting in SAS 9.4M2, the calculations were changed to include the number of ALL equality and inequality binding constraints. The calculation was as follows:
−2log(L)+(k-#ofAllBindingConstraints)*log(n)
The above can result in different values from the previous calculations.
To obtain a fix for this issue, contact SAS Technical Support.
After applying the fix, the calculations return to those used in SAS 9.4M1 and earlier releases.
−2log(L)+(k-#ofEqualityConstraints)*log(n)
