Study Notes

Evaluating Model Accuracy Without Expertise

A non-expert can assess a model's reliability by comparing it to known, understood concepts.
Example: A chemist unfamiliar with medicine can evaluate a medical model. If the model suggests a trivial water dosage for a condition, the model's underlying reasoning is likely flawed because it overlooks basic chemistry principles.
This comparison method highlights inconsistencies in the model's application.
Another example: If a football expert hears a baseball model describes a quarterback kicking the ball to deep right, they recognize this as a sign that the baseball model is probably inaccurate. It's employing an inappropriate football concept in the baseball context.
