A model validation framework based on parameter calibration under
Model validation methods have been widely used in engineering design to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of simulation models with uncertain inputs. Most of the existing validation methods for aleatory and epistemic uncertainty are based on the Bayesian theorem, which needs a vast number of data to update the posterior distribution of the model parameter. However, when a single simulation ...

PDF VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF SIMULATION MODELS
Another approach, usually called "independent verification and validation" (IV&V), uses a third (in-dependent) party to decide whether the simulation model is valid. The third party is independent of both the simulation development team(s) and the model sponsor/user(s). The IV&V approach should be used when developing large-scale simulation ...
[PDF] Introduction to Model Validation
Motivation and Introduction Mathematical model validation is defined as the "process of determining the degree to which a computer model is an accurate representation of the real world from the perspective of the intended model applications." (ASME, 2006, U.S. DOE, 2000, AIAA, 1998). It is accomplished through the comparison of predictions ...
The Bayesian validation metric : a framework for probabilistic model
In model development, model calibration and validation play complementary roles toward learning reliable models. In this thesis, we propose and develop the "Bayesian Validation Metric" (BVM) as a general model validation and testing tool. We show that the BVM can represent all the standard validation metrics - square error, reliability ...
Faster and easier: cross-validation and model robustness checks
There exist assessment tools, such as cross-validation (CV) and robustness checks, that help us understand exactly how trustworthy our methods are. In both cases (CV and robustness checks), a typical workflow follows the pattern of "change the dataset or method, and then rerun the analysis.". However, this workflow (1) requires users to ...
PDF The model validation debate and implications on decision making processes
The model validation problem and its legitimacy have been debated since the 1960s. A chronological review of validation concepts in the ecological literature was given by Rykiel (1996), two years after the publication of the Oreskes et al. (1994) article, which triggered a philosophical discussion on the model validation issue.

Toward a Better Understanding of Model Validation Metrics
Model validation metrics have been developed to provide a quantitative measure that characterizes the agreement between predictions and observations. In engineering design, the metrics become useful for model selection when alternative models are being considered. Additionally, the predictive capability of a computational model needs to be assessed before it is used in engineering analysis and ...

Model Validation and Discovery for Complex Stochastic Systems
In this thesis, we study two fundamental problems that arise in the modeling of stochastic systems: (i) Validation of stochastic models against behavioral specifications such as temporal logics, and (ii) Discovery of kinetic parameters of stochastic biochemical models from behavioral specifications. We present a new Bayesian algorithm for Statistical Model Checking of stochastic systems based ...
Critical review of validation models and practices in language testing
The purpose of this paper is to critically review the traditional and contemporary validation frameworks—the content, criterion, and construct validations; the evidence-gathering; the socio-cognitive model; the test usefulness; and an argument-based approach—as well as empirical studies using an argument-based approach to validation in high-stakes contexts to discuss the applicability of ...

Linear regression: Gradient descent
Gradient descent is a mathematical technique that iteratively finds the weights and bias that produce the model with the lowest loss. Gradient descent finds the best weight and bias by repeating the following process for a number of user-defined iterations. The model begins training with randomized weights and biases near zero, and then repeats the following steps:
