Model Validation is often a difficult task with many different objectives and their associated metrics. Many times these metrics can address a single issue such as model fit, predictive performance, uncertainty quantification, etc. One quantity of interest is the amount of uncertainty associated with model misspecification.  In this talk we present a bootstrap based method for uncertainty quantification under model misspecification.  We explore the method via a simulation study. These are illustrated using a spring elasticity dataset.
