positive loglikelihoods and negative AIC's

Dec 23, 2019 10:33 AM (7227 views)

I noticed that JMP invariably reports positive LLs and negative AICs, for example "-2LL = -1406.88" or "AICc =  -1451.534". This does not make sense, does it? LL must be negative by definition; AIC can in principle be negative, but with low LLs and low number of parameters it usually is positive.

Am I missing something fundamental here?

 

Thanks!
