The new atom-probe technique, while extremely laborious, can also be used to address questions of reliability at other sites where extremely old rocks have been found, the researchers said.
To address issues of reliability we will conduct cognitive interviews with patients to improve the clarity of items and consistency of item interpretation.
Replications of task address not only concerns related to quantity of evidence but are to some extent necessary for addressing issues of reliability (Brennan 2001).
Dimension 2 (12 items) focuses on the context and content and addresses attributes of reliability, applicability, flexibility and clarity.
In order to address the issues of reliability, reproducibility, precision and instrument capability at multiple levels (within laboratory, between laboratory, instrument-to-instrument, sample-to-sample, limits of dectection (LoD) and quantitation (LoQ)), a large-scale multi-site study was conducted to quantify MRM measurements of a standarized mix of proteins in human plasma [6].
Studies have attempted to address the question of reliability; however, data appear conflicting [ 88– 90].
In order to address the question of reliability of a probe collection every new database release, we have developed an informatics tool that allows the update of a probe collection.
As genomics technologies have been introduced more and more in toxicology, the International Life Sciences Institute Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (ILSI/HESI) has formed a consortium with more than 30 pharmaceutical companies to address the issues of reliability and reproducibility of these assays (Robinson et al. 2003).
The Daubert decision requires trial courts to address the questions of reliability and relevance, thus returning to the question of whether the actual scientific methods used were relevant and reliable.
While these concepts are frequently ignored (Campbell and Nehm, 2013), researchers who address the issues of reliability and validity often mistake them as required properties of one's assessment tools rather than, correctly, as characteristics of the interpretations we make from the tools' results (Cronbach and Meehl, 1955; Messick, 1995; Brown, 2005; Campbell and Nehm, 2013).
