In order to ensure the validity of results obtained, the pairwise comparison matrices were checked for consistency.
The workshop outputs included: (1) Data consistency matrices for the initial database and the final database to show data quality improvement before and after quality improvement initiatives.
The diagonal elements of the approximation matrix are set to zero7 for consistency with Fig. 3.
For consistency, the same matrix was used to process and analyse the transcripts of the Dutch interviews concerning the implementation of self-management support in practice.
(Note that the factor analysis here is exactly equivalent to PCA carried out using the correlation matrix, but we have retained the term 'factor analysis' for consistency with the terms used in the software package).
To test for consistency in time, we calculated the correlation matrix for the county sampling rates between different years, comparing within surveys and between them.
For consistency with notation used later, we denote (M_{PC} = Sigma ) as the kernel matrix for PCA.
For the model with the lowest mean DIC score, we checked for consistency in estimates of membership coefficients and split locations by estimating the correlation between ancestry membership matrices of replicate model runs with the R package simco [ 50].
We're searching for consistency".
"I look for consistency," he said.
