Metamorphic validation for agent-based simulation models

摘要: Effective validation of complex simulation models is often very difficult, especially when data does not exist to perform result through comparison outputs a run against the real world. This situation similar problem faced during verification computer programs for which there an "oracle" test correctness output. Software Engineering researchers have developed alternate technique known as metamorphic testing, that uses set related input-output combinations called "pseudooracles." We propose modified version testing can be applied model validation, validation. Our new approach highly effective in building confidence toward establishing validity systematic process discovery and application relations. present detailed applying this on agent-based simulations. then utilize case-study show successful validating previously published multi-scale cancer.
