  • Frank Ritter
  • How to evaluate your model”*introduces the basic concepts in evaluating a model. After debunking the concept of proving a model, this chapter presents the case that you would like to do two fundamental things: show that the model is worth taking seriously, both to yourself and to others, and to know where to improve it. I note non-numeric, numeric, and advanced methods that have been used, using a score card as a way to summarize the fit. It will also address interactions of these tasks with publishing your model. The tutorial provides general comments on publishing reports of models and the steps in modeling and simulation. I note the importance of writing and of the final results. I provide a detailed process for handing the preparation, submission, and revision of a paper reporting a model, particularly about the importance of staying in touch with stakeholders.
