The scales were named (1) fear of illness and death, (2) treatment experience, (3) hypochondriacal beliefs and (4) effect of symptoms and attained reliabilities [ 25] of (1) α = 0.82, (2) α = 0.75, (3) α = 0.65 and (4) α = 0.74 (n = 296).
All data collectors were either FPG-trained researchers or were trained in the field, attaining reliability with the "gold standard" rater.
Results on the most extensively evaluated aspects, feasibility and reliability, support the viability of the format and the use of a minimum of 10 encounters to attain reliability.
Although 3 years of data were combined, some estimates were not presented because they were unreliable, and some estimates for diagnoses, drugs, and procedures were aggregated into broader categories to attain reliability.
The iterative interaction between data collection and analysis is the essence of attaining reliability and validity [ 14] and makes it possible for researchers to pursue emerging avenues of inquiry in further depth [ 10].
Photovoltaic systems attained high reliability using cold standby redundant units as depicted in this paper.
All CHARGE clinical assessment personnel are trained and have attained research reliability on the ADI-R and the ADOS.
The self reports of patients regarding substance misuse were validated by assessments from other sources, and we attained good reliability on all observer rated outcomes.
Trained CHARGE and MIND Institute personnel who had attained research reliability conducted standardized clinical assessments to confirm the child's diagnostic group.
The Package-Reactor is designed to attain high reliability, high safety, good maintainability, good operability and low construction cost.
Due to constraints of space and minimum flow rate through expanders (to attain operational reliability), helium plants often have to be designed with heat exchanger UA and number of stages less than the optimum values.
