We checked that all the main outcome variables had been validated for telephone interviews by various different studies in order to guarantee validity of data compilation in the control group [ 24]: Barthel scale [ 25] (intra-class correlation coefficient with the in situ version 0.89), Pfeiffer test [ 26] (sensitivity and specificity of 0.74 and 0.79 respectively), Lawton-Brody index [ 27].
We present a class of algorithms that guarantee validity in dynamic networks.
For each of the following properties, list the solid representations (voxels, octrees, BSPs, CGS) that provide it best and worst: a) high accuracy, b) conciseness, c) guaranteed validity, d) efficient boolean operations, e) efficient display.
The process was hazardous: semantic forms are almost by definition not visible on the surface, and there is no purely syntactic form that guarantees validity of an argument.
Peer review and publication did not guarantee validity or correctness of the theories, data, analysis, or conclusions presented.
Although qualitative research is very useful in the exploration and description of phenomena, researchers using a qualitative design are more challenged to guarantee validity of the study.
Test results of non-significance would guarantee validity of randomisation, and, subsequently, homogeneity between samples 1 and 2. 24 25 We used SDA (ROC 5.0 software) to develop a prediction model for the outcome of OHCA in children.
Although widespread use of CAPS and SCID in China [ 18, 19, 40] does not guarantee validity, the symptom measures, including the BDI and the PTSD Checklist (PCL) (latter not reported here), showed a pattern of results similar to those observed with diagnostic measures, suggesting convergent validity.
The longitudinal design of our study (Sokol et al. 2006) gave us the opportunity to examine within-subject (over time) effects of O3 on male fertility in a sample that guarantees validity of the asymptotic inferences we made from the data.
It is designed to maintain the repository consistency and to provide a strict reproduction of user's decisions by guaranteeing the validity of operations and by reapplying only valid operations.
This is the reason that Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing the validity of the national debt, was included in that amendment.
