Simulation results have confirmed the dependability and security of the proposed algorithm.
When architecting dependable systems, in addition to improving system dependability by means of construction (fault-tolerant and redundant mechanisms, for instance), it is also important to evaluate, and thereby confirm, system dependability.
G-coefficients and index of dependability (Ф coefficients) confirmed the reliability of the scale further with more exact variance components.
The rigour of the study was confirmed by establishing credibility, dependability and confirmability.
Dependability was confirmed by describing the investigation process as clearly as possible [ 30].
Interview transcriptions and suggested themes were repeatedly checked, compared and revised with one of the authors (PJW) in order to increase credibility and dependability, although in this study they were not confirmed by the participants.
It is true that Bacon was more skeptical of hearsay claims than were his contemporaries, that he was suspicious of rational deductions (holding to the superior dependability of confirming experiences), and that he extolled experimentation so ardently that he has often been viewed as a harbinger of modern science more than 300 years before it came to bloom.
The use of an independent co-rater ensured the dependability of findings through establishing inter-rater reliability and also increased the credibility of findings as all themes were confirmed via the inter-rater process (Golafshani 2003).
They translated internal validity into credibility, external validity into transferability, reliability into dependability, and objectivity into confirm ability [ 17].
In this study, confirm ability was established, because credibility, transferability and dependability were achieved [ 17].
To support the trustworthiness (credibility, dependability and confirmability) of the findings, all participants reviewed the workshop methods and findings to confirm that the recommendations were internally coherent and supported by the data [ 27].
