METHOD FOR VALIDATING SIMULATION MODELS

A computer-implemented method for validating simulation data of a simulation model of a technical system. The method includes: providing simulation data including a number of simulation signals and providing reference data including a number of reference signals, the simulation signals and reference signals being multidimensional signals, at least two-dimensional signals; and determining a score map between a first probability distribution including the simulation data and a second probability distribution including the reference data using the Wasserstein metric, the determination of the score map including: creating a score matrix based on the simulation signals and the reference signals; converting the score matrix into a cost matrix; calculating optimal transport costs for the cost matrix, and converting the optimal transport costs into the score map.
