After the development of the questionnaire and other data collection tools by the research team, the validation of the questionnaire was made in several steps.
To enhance the validity of the study, our research process included internal training of the research team, respondent validation or member checks and attention to negative cases [ 38].
The developed fixes are subject to a special security test by the security validation team and, moreover, the response teams reviews the SAP Security Note.
The calibration and validation team of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute has calibrated and validated the image data of the KOMPSAT-2 since the launch of KOMPSAT-2 on July 28 , 2006
In total, the validation team reviewed 832 patient charts (27.3% of the SPIN-UTI patients).
The significant themes from the data were shared with the larger research team for further validation and discourse.
Transana (https://www.transana.com/), a transcription and analysis software for audio and video data, was used to identify and code instances of behaviors relating to the themes; this was repeated until the project team achieved consensual validation (Creswell 2007).
All medical records including all clinical and laboratory data were reviewed retrospectively by the trained physicians of the validation team and a positive predictive value (PPV), a negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity and specificity were calculated.
"Our validation team is experienced and highly skilled and travels regularly to collaborative centres to check the quality of the provision and work with local people to build capacity.
For example, the empirical functions for estimating missing parameters should be continually improved as more observed data become available, and higher-resolution data, such as GDEM (ASTER GDEM Validation Team 2011), which are capable of generating more accurate local factors, should be utilized.
