| May 15, 2013 at 12:56 | comment | added | Pavel | I'm afraid I failed to communicate my actual question. I know how many data points I have. I was actually asking for literature which contains a good explanation of why the number of data points enters the calculation of BIC in exactly the way it does. | |
