Calculate Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for Normal Distribution

This function estimates the parameters of a normal distribution from the provided data using maximum likelihood estimation, and then calculates the AIC value based on the fitted distribution.

Usage

util_normal_aic(.x)

Arguments

.x: A numeric vector containing the data to be fitted to a normal distribution.

Value

The AIC value calculated based on the fitted normal distribution to the provided data.

Details

This function calculates the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) for a normal distribution fitted to the provided data.
