Validation Strategy for the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic Model for Leadin Children

摘要

The document describes the considerations and methods for characterizing theconfidence to place in output from the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic (IEUBK) Model for Lead in Children, version 0.99d (PB94-501517). This document specifies many aspects in model validation. Several of these aspects of model validation have already been conducted, including comparison with other models, documentation of the Model's scientific basis, code verification, and preliminary empirical comparisons. The document is primarily concerned with empirical comparisons of model predictions with field study data, and should be viewed as a working strategy that can be refined and expanded as new approaches are developed and additional data become available.
