ABSTRACT

Subjective methods for operational validity are presented that use graphical displays of histograms, box plots, and behavior graphs. These methods allow the data to be correlated, have any statistical distribution, and be limited in the number of observations. Model data are used for the reference distribution (instead of a theoretical distribution such as the t or F) and for reference to compare the system data against. These methods are very general and can be used in validating different types of models.
