Perhaps you can find a review article somewhere, this is more the sort of thing you'd find in a text book.

Your options are:

  1. Find a dataset with known positive/negative results and run that through your prediction to see how close the results are.
  2. Do cross validation (or similar), though you might need more datasets.

Option 2 isn't really validation in the strictest sense, but it's as close as you can get without additional experiments.
