Aimed at the similarity measure problem of multioutput simulation with nonlinear correlation between different output variables, a model validation method based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA0 is proposed in this paper. KPCA is utilized to depict the relations among the multiple responses of observed data and simulation data respectively. A new similarity analysis formula is designed to measure the nonlinear
relations. The numerical experiment results reflect the effectiveness and reasonableness of the proposed validation method.
