AIC was chosen for model selection as an objective method for selecting the most parsimonious model that still provides an adequate fit to the data.
“We chose AIC (Akaike 1973) for model selection, a commonly used approach which provides an objective method for selecting the most parsimonious model that still provides an adequate fit to the data.”

“For practical reasons alone, there remains a place for simple bias corrections such as AIC (Akaike, 1973), DIC (Spiegelhalter et al., 2002, van der Linde, 2005), and, more recently, WAIC (Watanabe, 2010), and all these can be viewed as approximations to different versions of cross-validation (Stone,…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
