Finally, the performance of the sum score was examined by evaluating its test information function with associated reliability levels; showing whether precise and reliable joint-pain comorbidity scores can be obtained across the range of joint pain comorbidity severity.
Representing the domain as a graph, TELIC finds cost of each link in the graph using a cost function with bandwidth, reliability, and delay as parameters.
Our results show that this method identifies critical residues for protein function with high reliability and improves automatic sequence-based approaches and previous network-based approaches.
vi) Social Function - was assessed using the Social Function Schedule [ 30], a widely used self-completed measure of social function with established reliability and validity.
Thus the breathing pattern can be influenced by factors other than impaired respiratory mechanics (e.g. changes in glottic aperture) and a TB measurement can never reveal impaired respiratory functions with complete reliability, because there is always the chance that the breathing pattern has been affected by an abnormality in the neural control of breathing [ 36].
The fatigue life of critical structural details, therefore, can be obtained using the established limit-state function with a target reliability index.
The index consists of three subscales with a total of 24 items (5 pain, 2 stiffness and 17 physical function) with test-retest reliability estimates of 0.68, 0.68 and 0.72 for the pain, stiffness, and physical function subscales, respectively [ 34, 35].
However, we find that the lack of correlation in Experiment 3 is also not a function of low reliability with observed split-half reliabilities of r =.92 for the spatial cuing effect and r =.90 for the orientation cuing effect (Spearman, 1910; Brown, 1910).
Our personal sense of security has a lot to do with trust, and trust is often a function of reliability.
This would make them culturally specific, as well as temporally and geographically contingent as values can only be habituated and function with any degree of reliability in specific contexts.
In this approach, the statistical equating error is merely a function of the reliability of the two instruments, that is, the reliability with which trait levels can be estimated using either of the two instruments.
