Model Validation

To check the model quality on an independent data set, a second data set (Test data) can be imported.

To import test data

• Select File > Import Data > Test.

  A file selection window opens.

• Navigate to the folder <installation>\Example\AscmoDynamic and select the file Example_Dynamic_Engine.xls
  

• Click Open.

• In the Select Sheet window, select the sheet Test Data.

• Click OK.

  The Time Vector / Sample Time window opens.

• In the Sample Time field, enter the sample time (in seconds) of the test data (cf. Data for Modeling).

  Since the test data table contains no time column, you can ignore the Time Vector field in this tutorial.

• Click OK.

  The Additional Data to ASCMO project window opens.

  

  Because training and test data are part of the same measurement cycle, mapping is straightforward.

• Click OK to import the test data.

  After loading the data set, the model prediction is automatically shown in the ASCMO-DYNAMIC window.
