In our world, and for beings like us, coherence increases reliability, and therefore constitutes a kind of intellectual virtue in its own right.
Nevertheless, Schubert has recently proved an impossibility theorem to the effect that no coherence measure is reliability conducive in general (Schubert 2012b).
> -wrap-foot> SD = standard deviation; SDwithin = mean standard deviation between three consecutive measurements; CV = coefficient of variation; AS-OCT = anterior segment optical coherence tomography The intraobserver reliability of the ACD measurements using AS-OCT, Orbscan II, and Pentacam was high, with a SDwithin of 0.014 ± 0.009, 0.015 ± 0.009 and 0.017 ± 0.009 mm respectively.
Criteria, he says, can be appraised in terms of "megacriteria" such as reliability, relevance, strength, coherence, and consistency (Lipman 1991, p. 119).
These extreme ratios indicate that the national IO data system could not maintain coherence within it, and the reliability of data should be questioned.
We study reliability, magnetization switching coherence, and show, for the first time, the use of voltage-induced strain for the clocking of magnetization in these four-state nanomagnets.
These include the need for research to have been conducted ethically, the consideration of relevance to inform practice or policy, the use of appropriate and rigorous methods, and the clarity, coherence of reporting, address of reliability, validity, and objectivity [5].
To use the capillary-free zone along retinal arteries, a physiologic area of superficial avascularization, as an anatomic paradigm to investigate the reliability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for visualizing the deep retinal circulation.
To assess the reliability of the coherence estimate, 95% confidence intervals were calculated using jack-knife statistics Chronux package (http://www.chronux.org) (Mitra and Pesaran, 1999).
