Information criterion is an important factor for model structure selection in system identification. It is used to determine the optimality of a particular model structure with the aim of selecting an adequate model. A good information criterion not only evaluate predictive accuracy but also the parsimony of model. There are many information criterions those are widely used such as Akaike information criterion (AIC), corrected Akaike information criterion (AICc) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC). This paper introduces a new parameter-magnitude based information criterion (PMIC2) for identification of linear and non-linear discrete time model. It presents a study on comparison between AIC, AICc, BIC and PMIC2 in selecting the correct model structure for simulated models. This shall be tested using computational software on a number of simulated systems in the form of discrete-time models of various lag orders and number of terms/variables. It is shown that PMIC2 performed in optimum model structure selection better than AIC, AICc and BIC.
