The phrase "assess plausibility" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when evaluating the likelihood or credibility of a statement, idea, or scenario.
Example: "Before proceeding with the project, we need to assess plausibility to ensure our assumptions are valid."
Alternatives: "evaluate likelihood" or "determine credibility".
Finally, to assess plausibility of the genetic mating symmetry assumption, we compared QQ plots for case-parent triads with those for the Norwegian control-parent triads.
HIV incidence estimates during the years of the NPS were compared to HIV prevalence estimates from the NPS to assess plausibility of the incidence level, using assumptions that national HIV incidence levels should not be substantially higher or lower than 10% that of national HIV prevalence levels in stable and mature epidemics.
However, using anatomically detailed, whole-LV, electro-mechanical computational representations, it is possible to assess plausibility of conceptual explanations.
To assess plausibility only states exhibiting non-zero frequency were included, but for relevance the proportion of all responses featuring in the selected valuation health states were calculated.
It was small in scope, with 12 groundwater and wastewater samples and 28 drinking water samples designed to assess plausibility rather than to establish representative results.
To assess plausibility and relevance, three observational population data sets of EQ-5D responses were analysed: the Health Survey for England 1996 (HSE96) [ 11] (a general population sample, n=15476), the CODE-2 study (a disease-specific cross-sectional sample across five European countries, n=4254) [ 12] and HoDAR (a generic UK hospital population sample, n=43144) [ 10].
Again, assessing plausibility in humans from available rodent data is necessary.
By including a laboratory research component as well, the centers elucidate biologic mechanisms, an important element in assessing plausibility, and develop tools for screening and testing chemicals for possible regulation.
These criteria and types of evidence provide widely applicable guidelines for selecting research questions under the precautionary principle, because they emphasize assessing plausibility in situations in which proof is unlikely to be achievable.
The exposure questions are key because they are critical in assessing plausibility (without exposure to a causal agent, there is no health effect), they are prerequisite to health studies, and they identify preventable exposures that could be reduced by precautionary policies, even in the absence of strong evidence of harm.
