Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi

Dear Ceren Börüban,

Browne and Cudeck (1993) propose the expected cross validation index (ECVI) that measures how good a model is for predicting future.

The Expected Cross-validation Index (ECVI) is simple transformations of chi-square like Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC).

For more details and information about this subject i suggest you to see links and attached file on topic.
