The results show that the MCDM methods are consistent within themselves and in the context of input parameters (air pressure, shot size, peening duration) and output parameters (surface hardness, surface roughness).
Perhaps Kant thought this, but it is not very plausible: That I should always treat Humanity as an end in itself, for instance, does not seem to mean the same thing as that I should act only on maxims that are consistent with themselves as universal laws of nature.
Shneidman also pointed out that "people are very consistent with themselves"; he added that the "repetition of a tendency to capitulate, to flee, to blot it out, to escape is perhaps the most telling clue to an ultimate suicide".
Despite these variables, two phenotypes were observed in the present study and were consistent among themselves.
Reliability analysis examines whether the various items thought to constitute a scale are well-aligned, consistent among themselves, and generally corroborate each other.
Briefly, this property is met if and only if pairwise comparison results from three conditions, for example, CTRL, L, and FL, are consistent among themselves.
To circumvent the difficulty of finding consistent signatures themselves, we could use some biological pathways commonly affected by diverse molecular changes as modular signatures to build robust diagnostic classifiers [ 58].
Whether the research nurses represented the "truth" on all assessment items, it is clear that they were highly consistent among themselves, making them a reasonable yard stick against which existing assessments in each facility could be compared.
People want to be consistent with themselves.
This method is based on cognitive dissonance theory and its descendants [31],[32]: Aronson's self-consistency theory implies that actors strive for consistent views of themselves in order to avoid dissonance [29].
