Various methods are available for choosing statistical models. It is difficult to know which model selection criterion is the best for specific data. This paper discusses a method for choosing the model selection criterion based on the characteristics of the data and models. As an example, we examined the choice between AIC and likelihood cross-validation as the model selection criterion with the exponential distribution and Weibull distribution as candidate models. First, we examined the characteristics of AIC and likelihood cross-validation using data generated from an exponential distribution or Weibull distribution; AIC and likelihood cross-validation show substantially different natures. Next, from the results of the numerical simulations, we propose an intuitive method for deciding whether to use AIC or likelihood cross-validation.
