Table 2 Model evaluation for different models
From: MODELS: a six-step framework for developing an infectious disease model
Model type | Key considerations | Assessment techniques |
|---|---|---|
Data-driven models | Focus on learning from and predicting based on existing datasets | MSE, RMSE, R2, AIC, BIC, historical fitting, predictive validation, sensitivity analysis |
Mechanism-driven models | Emphasize modelling based on biological and sociological principles of disease transmission | R2, AIC, BIC, predictive validation, sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, expert review |
