Answer:

The correct answer is: The Akaike information criterion (AIC).

Step-by-step explanation:

Named after Japanese mathematic Hirotugu Akaike (1927-2009), the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is a relative quality statistical model that estimates the quality of a model based on the quality of others based on the amount of information the model losses: the lesser, the higher quality.
