Hi Riza and all, John L. Casti's book (Would-be worlds) has a number of tips on how to understand models in general; I found that adapting some of his ideas I could "feel" better if my models were more or less correct.
Depending on your problem, you can also use techniques such as the one described in John L. Miller's article "Active Nonlinear Tests of Complex Simulation Models". Remember that ultimately what you may be trying to test is the adequability of the model to the world you are trying to capture; and most of the time, only an experienced person on the subject can answer that. - -Jeff Quoting riza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dear colleagues: > > We have been working on a project that involves the use of Bayes Nets to > model financial returns.
