The ability of a model in assimilating measurement data will be helpful to improve model prediction.
Veracity, the ability of a model to provide meaningful information is assessed using performance criteria, incorporating: a popular mean square error (MSE) approach; empirical distribution functions and information criteria.
To test the ability of a model to simulate the main controls on the spatial distribution of SWE, spatial gradients of observed and simulated SWE in relation to topographic and vegetation controls are computed using regression analysis.
Many authors suggest that indicators of the external environment, corporate governance as well as firm size contain important information; on the other hand, the large number of factors does not necessary increase predictive ability of a model.
The ability of a model to predict diverse damage mechanisms under multiple loading directions conditions is critical for the safe design of fibre reinforced laminated orthopaedic devices subjected to complex physiological loading conditions.
There was varying discrimination, the ability of a model to distinguish between cases and controls, with an area under the curve between 0.57 and 0.879 and calibration, the model's ability to assign an accurate probability to an individual.
The ability of a model to reproduce the catchment water balance or the shape of a hydrograph has proved to be a poor, even uninformative, indicator of its ability to reveal the internal organization and process dynamics that apparently control the delivery of water and solutes to streams.
At the conference Michael Kumhof, an economist at the International Monetary Fund, presented the findings of a forthcoming working paper which showed that adding the idea of a "Hubbert peak" to energy production greatly improved the ability of a model to forecast oil prices.
It is easier to test the ability of a model to depict N2O fluxes, at least at the field chamber scale, than to test the ability of a model to depict total denitrification or N2 fluxes (David et al. 2009).
In general, small values of RMSE and SEP suggest a good ability of a model to predict the experimental data.
Thus, this score characterizes the ability of a model to produce similar-structure clustering in a visualization.
