External validation can take many forms, including validation in the field such as temporal, geographical and independent validation. For external validation studies, the sample size calculation estimates based on statistical power considerations have not been extensively investigated.

EXTERNAL VALIDATION Externalvalidationcantakemanyforms,includingvalidation in the field such as temporal, geographical and independent validation. For external validation studies, the sample size calculation estimates based on statistical power considerations have not beenextensively investigated. However, in order to achieve adequate model output in the validation set, a large sample size is needed to validate the predictionmodel.

Every prediction model is based on the regression analysis. Themostcommonpredictivemodelortheregressionmodelusedfortheclinical prediction model are linear regression if the dependent variable is continuous in nature, logisticregressionmodelifthedependentvariableisbinary,andCox-proportional model if the dependent variable is time-to-event in nature. Al-Ameri et al (2020) presented a detailed review on clinical prediction models for liver transplantationstudy. Further, Ratna et al (2020) discussed the quality of clinical prediction model in vitro fertilisationand human reproduction. Validation of model has been carried out using re-sampling technique and measured the accuracyusingAUC,calibrationplotasshowninfigure1,c-index,andHosmer- Lemeshowteststatistic. Contd...
Figure1:SlopeofCalibrationplot(Source:StevensandPoppe(2020)) In addition, Stevens and Poppe (2020) suggested the Cox- calibration slope using logisticregressionmodelinsteadofusingsimplythecalibrationslopefor the predictivemodel. This suggestion has been made after the scrutiny of around 33 research articles and found that most of the validation are external validation and identified the validity using thecalibrationslopeandthesamplearticlesarepresentedinthefollowingtable.
