I understand AIC is asymptotically equivalent to leave-one-out cross-validation and that BIC has a similar asymptotic equivalence to leave-k-out cross-validation. My question is, other than computational efficiency, is there a reason to prefer information criteria like AIC/wAIC/BIC over cross-validation?
In the ecology literature, using AIC for model selection is very common. But if cross-validation is possible, is there a reason to use AIC?
