Calibration verification for stochastic agent-based disease spread models. by Maya Horii, Aidan Gould, Zachary Yun, Jaideep Ray, Cosmin Safta, Tarek Zohdi

“…However, current methods frequently forgo calibration verification (a stand-alone process evaluating the calibration procedure) and instead use overall model validation (a process comparing calibrated model results to data) to check calibration processes, which may conceal errors in calibration. …”
