DRAFT Model Transparency and Validation: A Report of the ISPOR-SMDM Modeling Good Research Practices Task Force-7 (Submitted to Value in Health and Medical Decision Making)
This paper will address external model validation [versus verification], analyses, documentation, and transparency in reporting of model results. The importance of conceptualization (up front scoping) to ensure that the model addresses the problem will be emphasized. In addition, this paper will describe how results should be presented to be useful to the user.
