Derek,
     There was a fairly long thread on validation on this list back in 
September 2003 under "comparing models". You might best go back and look
through that to start. The term "validation" is used quite differently
among different modeling groups, so I personally try to avoid using it
in preference to model evaluation - which for me takes account directly
of the purposes for which you have developed the model (e.g. predictive
or other).
     Cheers,
