  abstract = {{T}his article introduces a {M}atlab (c) code to implement the {G}eneral {D}ifferential {S}plit {S}ample {T}est ({GDSST}) ({D}akhlaoui et al. [5]). {A}s an illustration, the {GDSST} is applied to five catchments in northern {T}unisia over 30 year reference period and compared to three benchmark {S}plit {S}ample {T}est ({SST}) methods. {T}he techniques are compared as regards to the number of validation exercises and to the differences in temperature ({D}elta {T}) and precipitation ({D}elta {P}) between the sampled sub-periods, whose length was set to 8-year. {T}he {GDSST} allows a larger number of discontinuous periods to be sampled, and is computationally more effective than the basic bootstrap to identify the most climatically contrasting conditions. {I}n addition, the {GDSST} offers a larger continuum of climatic conditions and a better spread of validation periods than the benchmark techniques, which is essential to test the parameter transferability of hydrological models. {A}s supplementary material, a package file containing {MATLAB} (c) scripts to run the three benchmark {SST}s and the proposed {GDSST}, as well as an application example on the five catchments, can be freely downloaded. {A}n enhanced split-sample test based on an oriented bootstrap to assess transferability of hydrological models. {T}he proposed split-sample test is computationally more effective than the basic bootstrap to identify the most climatically contrasting conditions. {MATLAB} (c) code of the proposed {GDSST} and four benchmark {SST}, with application example.},
