However, in this study, it is used as a tool to assess the reliability of the indicators to measure the same underlying construct and to understand better the dimensionality of the constructs.
There was little agreement among the three indicators to identify the same animals in need of treatment and even combining them did not increase their predictive value of infection intensity or relative host damage from infection.
Construct validity was enhanced by the consecutive use of similar questions and the reliance on several indicators to measure the same phenomena.
Other indicators point to the same trend.
However, the addition of 50 kg N ha− 1 year− 1 to one treatment was not great enough to speed up the rate of decline in P fractions or P loss indicators compared to the same treatment without N applied.
Even groups with a similar focus may be attracted to different indicators related to the same problem.
In this way, the socio-economic appraisal complements the environmental appraisal using indicators at the same degree of abstraction.
The advantage of 'omics' technologies lies in their multiparametric nature probing a large array of indicators at the same time.
A final model includes all macro-level indicators at the same time.
Therefore, it must be acknowledged that many of the species used in this study, including all of the species in the endemic and indicator categories, belong to the same genus within the Brassicaceae, Streptanthus.
