- For deviance, the metric for the criterion is the p-value of the F test* (which is a whole-model test).
- For AIC, the metric is the AIC. (Again, a whole-model test.)
how does aic work for stepwiseglm?

Dear colleagues,
I'd like to ask a question about the stepwiseglm function. I was wondering how the aic criterion works exactly for entering and removing terms. I understand how the process works if one considers a certain p-value threshold for entering (a term matches the treshold for entering) and removing (a variable in the existing model up to that point does not meet the threshold for staying in the model) terms. However, when it concerns the aic for the entire model, I do not readily understand how indivivual terms are entered and removed. I would appreciate your help.
Thanks!
Best
Hans

Regardless of the criterion used (e.g. the default "Deviance" criterion, or the "AIC" criterion), the stepwise method brings in one variable at a time, but then makes a fit assessment of the whole model (not just that term):
For details, see the Criterion section of the documentation for stepwiseglm. Also, look at the PEnter and PRemove parameters for the precise numeric values of the thresholds.
*Or chi-squared test

I think you have the idea basically correct, but the default threshold for PRemove is not 0, but 0.01. (Quoting the documentation: "If the change in the AIC of the model is greater than PRemove, remove the term from the model.")
