I've created an ARIMA model, but I am unable to find a way to print the AIC or BIC results. I need these numbers for model comparison. Unfortunately the documentation on sourceforge is down, and I cannot find my answer when looking at the statsmodel github repository.

Here's my code: 

import pandas as pd
import pandas.io.data
import statsmodels.formula.api as sm 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
from statsmodels.tsa.arima_model import ARIMA

list = ['spy']
df = pd.io.data.get_data_yahoo(list, start = '2013-11-01', end = '2016-7-01', interval = 'm')['Adj Close'] 
df.dropna(inplace = True) 
df = df.pct_change()
df.dropna(inplace = True) 

model = ARIMA(df.spy, order = (0,0,1))
results_ARIMA = model.fit(disp=-1)
plt.plot(results_ARIMA.fittedvalues, color='red') 
plt.show()

I figured out the solution here. You need to import the ARMAResults class from statsmodels.tsa.arima_model. 

from statsmodels.tsa.arima_model import ARMAResults

Once this is complete you can insert

print(ARMAResults.summary(results_ARIMA))

This will print out the results summary which includes the BIC and AIC.

    If you just want the AIC or BIC values you can call the methods .aic() or .bic(). This will print out just the value. – Evy555 Jul 13 '16 at 17:23

results_ARIMA.aic and results_ARIMA.bic will give you the corresponding values. You don't need the brackets since these are not callable.
