Validation of an estimated model is not a trivial task because it depends on the purpose of the model, which usually defines the most important features of the model. Thus, in a validation process, the use of diverse tools that exploit different domains is recommended. Here, with this aim, a scale for model validation is proposed that combines the Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE) with two new indices: the coherence-based index and the fourth-order cross-cumulant index. The proposed scale was used for the validation of three models: the Logistic Map, the Duffing-Ueda oscillator, and the Buck converter. The results demonstrated that the proposed model validation scale produces a more complete validation process that takes into account both time and frequency information and provides robustness against Gaussian noise.
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.
