This has been confirmed by the experts from PRODUCT and SERVICE Internal and external consistency (model) The planning model is internally consistent as it has been designed deductively and as its components are modular such that side effects cannot occur.
The internal consistency principle guarantees consistency among different perspectives of an atomic model, whereas the external consistency principle guarantees that different components in a coupled model are consistent.
We assessed the model's internal consistency (against data used as inputs), external consistency (against known facts about the disease), projective validity (against data sourced independently from model inputs), and convergent validity (against results from different models) (Weinstein et al, 2003).
This is to be expected if the time-dependent perturbation affecting the modes is confined in the surface layers; the excellent agreement also reflects favourably on the external consistency of the different observations.
Results from analyses of simulated Monte Carlo data, MAXEIG-HITMAX, and MAMBAC and L-mode external consistency tests indicated that the latent structure of fear of pain was nontaxonic, characterized by latent continuity.
External consistency of the model was demonstrated by producing outcomes that were within the 95% confidence intervals of independent data, including age-specific cancer incidence rates (HPV-16 and -18 associated only) (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1976; Clifford et al, 2003a, 2003b, 2006) (Figure 3).
The results after a Helmert transformation show that the PPP and the DD are comparable as regards external consistency, while the computation time for a same amount of data is 3.5 hours for the PPP and 18 ∼ 20 hours for the DD.
External consistency means that doing the same thing in different products has the same result.
The data consistency of embedded real-time systems includes internal consistency, external consistency, and mutual consistency.
The verifiable symptoms related to network state mismatching are sent as checkpoints to the external Consistency Checker, in which several off-the-shelf tools (e.g., VeriFlow [19], Anteater [9]) are used to verify the related symptoms.
External consistency consistency of data as reported in regulatory documents, other versions of the same clinical study reports or unpublished reports, and other references, established by cross checking.
