A hierarchical approach for validating simulation models. (1st January 2002) - Irvine, Steven R.
The most common procedures used for validating simulation models are briefly reviewed. The validation procedures are organised into a hierarchical framework that introduces a structured approach to the validation process. Application of the validation procedures according to the hierarchical framework results in a systematic approach to simulation model validation. A systematic approach increases the efficiency of the validation process by reducing the time and resources spent on it.
