SGER: Examining Model Validation for Engineering Design

这个探索性研究（SGER）项目的目的是确定是否可以创建工程模型验证的一般理论。 许多工程设计都是基于人工制品设计的有效性。 事实上，这种对模型有效性的信念甚至延伸到了国家政策中，当试验--例如进行核爆炸--被来自模型的研究结果所取代时。 但是，这些模型真的如它们所预测的那样吗？

The objective of this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) project is to determine whether a general theory of validation of engineering models can be created. Much of engineering design is based on the validity of the design of an artifact. Indeed, this faith in the validity of a model extends even to national policy when tests - such as conducting nuclear explosions - are replaced by studying consequences coming from models. But, do the models do what they predict?
