 ================================
 
 This example shows that model selection can be performed with
-Gaussian Mixture Models using information-theoretic criteria (BIC).
+Gaussian Mixture Models using :ref:`information-theoretic criteria (BIC) <aic_bic>`.
 Model selection concerns both the covariance type
 and the number of components in the model.
 In that case, AIC also provides the right result (not shown to save time),
