Abstract
Validation is a critical stage in model development with at least two identifiable types: (1) risk-to-user or cost-benefit criteria for evaluating management models and (2) rigorous statistical procedures to test research models. Each type is discussed along with some quantitative validation tools. We emphasize that selection of inappropriate criteria can lead to unnecessary delays in implementation or use of poorly validated models.
