Widely applicable Bayesian information criterion is the generalized version of Bayesian information criterion onto singular statistical models.
WBIC is the average log likelihood function over the posterior distribution with the inverse temperature > 1/log n where n is the sample size.
Both WAIC and WBIC can be numerically calculated without any information about a true distribution.
