Validation of Computational Methods.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology

Patlewicz G, Worth AP, Ball N.
PMID: 27671722
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2016;856:165-187. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-33826-2_6.

In this chapter, we provide an overview of how (Quantitative) Structure Activity Relationships, (Q)SARs, are validated and applied for regulatory purposes. We outline how chemical categories are derived to facilitate endpoint specific read-across using tools such as the OECD...

Systematic review of serious games for medical education and surgical skills training.

The British journal of surgery

Graafland M, Schraagen JM, Schijven MP.
PMID: 22961509
Br J Surg. 2012 Oct;99(10):1322-30. doi: 10.1002/bjs.8819.

BACKGROUND: The application of digital games for training medical professionals is on the rise. So-called 'serious' games form training tools that provide a challenging simulated environment, ideal for future surgical training. Ultimately, serious games are directed at reducing medical...

Checklists for external validity: a systematic review.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice

Dyrvig AK, Kidholm K, Gerke O, Vondeling H.
PMID: 24828521
J Eval Clin Pract. 2014 Dec;20(6):857-64. doi: 10.1111/jep.12166. Epub 2014 May 15.

RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The quality of the current literature on external validity varies considerably. An improved checklist with validated items on external validity would aid decision-makers in judging similarities among circumstances when transferring evidence from a study setting...

Prediction models need appropriate internal, internal-external, and external validation.

Journal of clinical epidemiology

Steyerberg EW, Harrell FE.
PMID: 25981519
J Clin Epidemiol. 2016 Jan;69:245-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2015.04.005. Epub 2015 Apr 18.

Transparent reporting of a multivariable prediction model for individual prognosis or diagnosis (TRIPOD): the TRIPOD statement. The TRIPOD Group.

Circulation

Collins GS, Reitsma JB, Altman DG, Moons KG.
PMID: 25561516
Circulation. 2015 Jan 13;131(2):211-9. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.114.014508. Epub 2015 Jan 05.

BACKGROUND: Prediction models are developed to aid health care providers in estimating the probability or risk that a specific disease or condition is present (diagnostic models) or that a specific event will occur in the future (prognostic models), to...

Evolving conceptualisations of validity: impact on the process and outcome of assessment.

Medical education

St-Onge C, Young M.
PMID: 25989399
Med Educ. 2015 Jun;49(6):548-50. doi: 10.1111/medu.12734.

Responses to comments of Weis.

Health and quality of life outcomes

Guo N, Marra CA, Marra F.
PMID: 20074383
Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2010 Jan 15;8:6. doi: 10.1186/1477-7525-8-6.

A response to Weis and Pasipanodya 'Measuring health-related quality of life in tuberculosis: a systemic review - Response'.

Self-efficacy instruments for patients with chronic diseases suffer from methodological limitations--a systematic review.

Health and quality of life outcomes

Frei A, Svarin A, Steurer-Stey C, Puhan MA.
PMID: 19781095
Health Qual Life Outcomes. 2009 Sep 26;7:86. doi: 10.1186/1477-7525-7-86.

BACKGROUND: Measurement of self-efficacy requires carefully developed and validated instruments. It is currently unclear whether available self-efficacy instruments for chronic diseases fulfill these requirements. Our aim was to systematically identify all existing self-efficacy scales for five major chronic diseases...

'Validation' in genome-scale research.

Journal of biology

Hughes TR.
PMID: 19222867
J Biol. 2009;8(1):3. doi: 10.1186/jbiol104.

The individual 'validation' experiments typically included in papers reporting genome-scale studies often do not reflect the overall merits of the work.

Method validation across the disciplines--critical investigation of major validation criteria and associated experimental protocols.

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences

Stöckl D, D'Hondt H, Thienpont LM.
PMID: 19157996
J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci. 2009 Aug 01;877(23):2180-90. doi: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2008.12.056. Epub 2008 Dec 31.

Analytical method development should aim at delivering reliable measurements within a given application. This implies that method validation is integrated in the development process, because it enables to establish a method's performance capabilities, and to demonstrate its fitness-for-purpose. Although...

Use of forensic methods under exigent circumstances without full validation.

Science translational medicine

Schutzer SE, Keim P, Czerwinski K, Budowle B.
PMID: 20368183
Sci Transl Med. 2009 Nov 25;1(8):8cm7. doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.3000372.

Forensic science can be instrumental in providing investigative leads or clues to help identify the perpetrators, and those who are innocent, of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear terrorist attack, as well as identify leads during infectious outbreaks or...

The bottom-up approach to integrative validity: a new perspective for program evaluation.

Evaluation and program planning

Chen HT.
PMID: 19931908
Eval Program Plann. 2010 Aug;33(3):205-14. doi: 10.1016/j.evalprogplan.2009.10.002. Epub 2009 Oct 20.

The Campbellian validity model and the traditional top-down approach to validity have had a profound influence on research and evaluation. That model includes the concepts of internal and external validity and within that model, the preeminence of internal validity...
