minute corrections and standardization of citations and references
Feb 17, 2014 at 23:47 comment added Nick Cox In conversation with Findley and Parzen (projecteuclid.org/download/pdf_1/euclid.ss/1177010133) Akaike revealed that AIC was used by an assistant in her FORTRAN program. Variable names such as IC by default implied integer quantities; a prefix such as A was sufficient to instruct the compiler that the quantity was real. Although not intending "Akaike" he realised that it also meant simply "an". (Incidentally, while this reference is, as it were, an antidote to one incorrect story, it perpetuates the misspelling of Mallows' as Mallow's.)
