For reliability problems with implicit functions, this paper combines the ABCLS with Kriging response surface method, therefore could alleviate computational burden of calculating the reliability of complex aerospace mechanism.
A shortened version of the CQR increases the clinical utility by reducing the patient burden whilst maintaining a good level of reliability and validity for a short, self-administered, self-report questionnaire.
Twelve chronic conditions were extracted from the codes on the basis of prevalence, disease burden and the reliability of self-report diagnostic classification.
A recent review identified six commonly used questionnaires and concluded that the measures differ substantially in a number of aspects (conceptual and measurement model, reliability, validity, interpretability, burden of completion, administration format, validated translations) [ 6].
In order to alleviate the computation burden, score function together with the MCS method is exploited to compute the stochastic sensitivities of reliability functions.
However, the high share of intermittent and fluctuating wind power production has also increased the burden of system operator for securing power system reliability during the operational phase.
To decrease burden of the study on patients, test-retest reliability was not evaluated.
These outcome measures were selected on the basis of their length, low level of burden, ease of administration, and reliability and validity in our previous homecare trials [ 70, 78, 91].
This was because our methodology could not be used to diagnose anxiety and depression, and we wished to reduce respondent burden and ensure reliability of responses [ 22, 23].
Whilst VASs are brief and simple to administer and minimal in terms of respondent burden, without established reliability or validity relating to the underlying construct purported to be measured, they remain of limited value.
