jamovi

I used the stepAIC function in the package MASS to do binomial logistic regression on a dataset and the final model derived had an AIC of 57.8. When I tried to replicate the model in jamovi, the AIC was 131. Why the different results? jamovi results attached. Thanks

not sure,

but the models in jamovi are constructed like this:

https://github.com/jamovi/jmv/blob/master/R/logregbin.b.R#L72

and then the AIC is calculated like this:

https://github.com/jamovi/jmv/blob/master/R/logregbin.b.R#L79

the folks responsible for writing the underlying packages may be better equipped to handle questions of why results the differ.
