Zusammenfassung	The Bayesian Information Criterion is an information-theoretic model selection criterion that approximates Bayesian model comparison. Introduced by Gideon Schwarz in 1978, BIC penalizes model complexity more heavily than AIC by using a sample-size-dependent penalty, making it particularly suitable for identifying the true underlying model structure.	Mean Squared Error is the foundational loss function for regression models, measuring the average squared deviation between predictions and observations. Originating from Gauss and Legendre's method of least squares (1805-1809), MSE is the basis for ordinary least squares regression and remains central to modern machine learning optimization.
