Description
Summary:Model verification and validation are defined, and why model verification and validation are important is discussed. The three approaches to deciding model validity are described. A graphical paradigm that shows how verification and validation are related to the model development process and a flowchart that shows how verification and validation is part of the model development process are presented and discussed. A recommended procedure for verification and validation is given.
