abstract

  • Model assessment is a fundamental problem in science and engineering and it addresses the question of the validity of a model in the light of empirical evidence. In this paper, we propose a method for the
    assessment of dynamic nonlinear models based on empirical and predictive
    cumulative distributions of data and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics.
    The technique is based on the generation of discrete random variables
    that come from a known discrete distribution if the entertained model is
    correct. We provide simulation examples that demonstrate the
    performance of the proposed method.
