The phrase "alternative validation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing different methods or approaches to validate something, such as data, results, or processes.
Example: "In our research, we explored alternative validation techniques to ensure the accuracy of our findings."
Alternatives: "alternative verification" or "different validation methods".
Due to this discrepancy, previous studies concluded that the stochastic QSSA cannot be validated using the deterministic QSSA, leaving open the question of alternative validation methods.
Finally, the argument against correlational validation is presented, and suggestions as to alternative validation techniques are offered.
To further study the robustness of the generated models, Y-randomization is applied to the antiTB dataset as an alternative validation method.
We believe that we have achieved our purpose here to start a discussion on alternative validation techniques that could be enhanced in the future.
This study proposes an alternative validation tool for stormwater biofilters that uses a process-based model calibrated against in situ tracer and laboratory based data.
'Researcher research', which 'refers to the researcher's investigation of his/her own internal thought processes at the same time as he/she is taking a test' has been proposed as an alternative validation tool (Sadeghi 2004, p. 85).
Some examples of defensible alternative statistical validation attempts would include: validation by meta-analysis; validation using a distinct analytic method (e.g. PCA adjusted vs. not, using imputation vs. not etc).; or validation after accounting for a masking covariate in your analysis (e.g. stratifying or adjusting for a confounder, or considering an interacting variable).
We demonstrate the feasibility of using relative recall of included studies from multiple systematic reviews to validate methodological search filters as an alternative to validation against a gold standard formed through hand searching.
The lower point value assigned to alternative statistical validation reflects the lower quality of evidence obtained through these post hoc validation attempts.
In these cases, an alternative qualitative validation, for example, using visualization techniques, can be also satisfactory.
To assess this task we used an alternative external validation measure to the sum of squared error adopted for selecting the number of clusters.
