Is My Model Good Enough? Best Practices for Verification and Validation of Musculoskeletal Models and Simulations of Movement
TL;DR: Practical guidelines for verification and validation of NMS models and simulations are established that researchers, clinicians, reviewers, and others can adopt to evaluate the accuracy and credibility of modeling studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive Designs of Experiments for Accurate Approximation of a Target Region
TL;DR: An iterative strategy to build designs of experiments is proposed, which is based on an explicit trade-off between reduction of global uncertainty and exploration of the regions of interest, which shows that a substantial reduction of error can be achieved in the crucial regions.

Validation of reliability computational models using Bayes networks
Sankaran Mahadevan,Ramesh Rebba +1 more
TL;DR: The methodology includes uncertainty in the experimental measurement, and the posterior and prior distributions of the model output are used to compute a validation metric based on Bayesian hypothesis testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive probability analysis using an enhanced hybrid mean value method
TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive probability analysis method is proposed to generate the probability distribution of the output performance function by identifying the propagation of input uncertainty to output uncertainty, which is based on an enhanced hybrid mean value (HMV+) analysis in the performance measure approach.
