This study presents a simulation-based framework for model misspecification analysis in the context of simulation-based inference (SBI) techniques for Bayesian parameter estimation.
The framework includes distortion-driven model misspecification tests and connections to classical techniques such as anomaly detection, model validation, and goodness-of-fit residual analysis.
An efficient self-calibrating training algorithm is introduced to improve the performance of the framework.
The framework is demonstrated in various scenarios and applied to real gravitational wave data (GW150914).
