Two major issues associated with model validation are addressed here. First, we present a maximum likelihood approach … to define and evaluate a model validation metric. The advantage of this approach is it is more easily applied to … effect of this on model validation metrics. We show that ignoring correlation in multivariate data can lead to misleading …

model verification and validation, uncertainty quantification, and decision making. We present a framework that extends the … that the potential for evaluation is a function of how the modeling and simulation software will be used in a particular … of model evaluation, which asserts that the systematic, rigorous, and transparent accumulation of evidence about a model …

A new strategy for validation of hydrocode predictions through the Bayesian analysis of radiographic data is presented … provides the foundation for assessing the reliability of the results. We propose using the hydrocode prediction at radiographic … that a physics-based validation of hydrocodes themselves may require some, if not all, of the basic concepts presented here …

Software performance and evaluation have four basic needs: (1) well-defined performance testing strategy, requirements …-effective performance testing and evaluation tools and techniques. This chapter first introduced a performance test process and discusses … testing and evaluation of component based programs and components. Next, this chapter presented different types of performance …
