Without this, a reliable validation is very difficult.
The cutoff values for NLR and other categorical variables used in our primary analyses were prespecified according to previous reports (Curran et al, 1998; Herndon et al, 1998; Kao et al, 2010), an important prerequisite for reliable validation.
Results were pooled over the ten imputed datasets for eight studies with sufficient numbers for reliable validation (n > 500)".
Obviously, nighttime measurements at the two points are not sufficient for reliable validation of the models; however, they can indicate model limitations.
The scope and trends of analytical and experimental activities aimed at studying neutronic characteristics of the GT-MHR high-temperature gas-cooled reactor are determined in compliance with the requirement for reliable validation of the GT-MHR design applying certified software tools.
Using it in combination with cross validation provides a more reliable validation result than using cross validation alone.
The four largest low prevalence databases with sufficient numbers for reliable validation, 33 and the remaining low prevalence databases combined, were each in turn removed from the model development sample.
For more reliable validations, high resolution in vivo or in situ strain measurements should be used, although the general acceptance of such detailed datasets for this purpose remains a concern.
Our experimental data in form of mole fraction profiles as a function of height above the burner for a mass range from 2 to 210 u can serve as reliable validation targets for model development.
