Validation Metrics for Deterministic and Probabilistic Data

Maupin, Kathryn A.; Swiler, Laura P.

The purpose of this document is to compare and contrast metrics that may be considered for use in validating computational models. Metrics suitable for use in one application, scenario, and/or quantity of interest may not be acceptable in another; these notes merely provide information that may be used as guidance in selecting a validation metric.
