The Energy Information Administration's model quality program is based on objective information about model assumptions, equations, and data sources, and the ability of outside examiners to review models and replicate results. Agency standards and management enforce incentives for preparing and submitting timely documentation and building archive versions of models throughout the development process. Programs require regular review of models during the development process by outside experts and the detailed mathematical, statistical, and econometric review and software verification at key developmental stages of development. The agency gauges the effectiveness of the model quality program by the numbers of models documented and reviewed and by compliance with recommendations to retire, modify, or enhance the models reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
