Validation

The validation of a system, method, or model is the process of determining that the results of a system, method, or model are, to a certain extent, accurate with regards to its intended use.​

The application of the concept of “validation” to computational models can be defined as the process of determining the degree to which a model is able to represent the real world in the context of its intended use. The model response is compared to a ground-truth. The model’s prediction capabilities are tested (1).
