Abstract

This study investigates the accelerated cosmic expansion within the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz Model. To constrain the cosmological parameters of this model, we incorporate 17 Baryon Acoustic Oscillation points, 31 Cosmic Chronometer points, 40 Type Ia Supernovae points, 24 quasar Hubble diagram points, and 162 Gamma Ray Bursts points, along with the latest Hubble constant measurement (R22). We treat rdr_{d} as a free parameter to extract H0H_{0} and rdr_{d} using late-time datasets, aiming for optimal fitting values in each model. Treating rdr_{d} as free improves precision, reduces bias, and enhances dataset compatibility. The obtained values of H0H_{0} and rdr_{d} are compared to the Λ\LambdaCDM model, showing consistency with previous estimates from Planck and SDSS studies. The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) favor the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz model, with the Λ\LambdaCDM model having the lowest AIC. Additionally, we conduct Δ\DeltaAIC and Δ\DeltaBIC analyses to assess model preference.} Validation using the reduced χred2\chi_{red}^{2} statistic indicates satisfactory fits for the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz model, while recognizing Λ\LambdaCDM as the preferred model. Extensions of the analysis warrant further investigation.
