The assumption underlying this study was that even if different methods use the same input data in assessing the same work tasks, they can still produce different load assessments.
Both heterogeneous studied populations and uncontrolled diversity of care among participating centres probably contributed to discrepancies between studies assessing the same intervention.
Some items assessing different DSM-IV criteria had very similar measurement characteristics, while others assessing the same criterion showed markedly different thresholds and factor loadings.
However, there exists an important heterogeneity in the cerebral areas associated with these different processes, and also between different tasks assessing the same process.
As indicated earlier, if large correlation coefficients were obtained (i.e., ≥ ± .70), this would provide evidence that the tasks were assessing the same construct.
It hasn't gone out of its way to gouge Roku owners with new fees – it's just assessing the same ol' fees that any CableCARD user before would have had to contend with.
It is noteworthy that two [3, 7] of the four positive studies were stopped early at an interim analysis, which may impact indirect comparison between studies assessing the same intervention.
The quantitative feedback was found to differ between peer assessors and the expert and also between peer assessors assessing the same web-portfolio, which resulted in low validity and reliability.
And it will seem to some that to claim that participants in epistemic disputes have access to relevant personal evidence not available to their epistemic competitors is in fact simply to acknowledge that the dispute is really not among true epistemic peers in the sense originally intended — that is, in the sense that all parties are assessing the same body of evidence.
Rules of evidence have been established to grade evidence according to its strength, giving rise to the concept of 'hierarchy of evidence.' The hierarchy provides a framework for rating evidence and indicates which study types should be given more weight when assessing the same question [9].
Overall, the analysis of the selected studies combined with the authors' experience in the field of sepsis management supports the idea that both population heterogeneity and uncontrolled diversity of care among participating centres probably contributed to discrepancies between studies assessing the same intervention.
