Although qRT-kDNA PCR is a highly sensitive test, the dependability of low positives remains questionable.
It should be noted that for oxygen saturation the "SweetAge" system used a commercial device, and therefore for this parameter we only tested the dependability of the transmission system.
As seen in Table 3, physicians would have to scan 2 different patients/cases with one random rater judging each situation using the TTE total checklist scores, for the test to reach dependability coefficients suitable for a high stakes test situation (Φ > 0.90) [ 13].
"Much like cars are crash tested, condoms are taken through rigorous testing to ensure their dependability and safety including air inflation tests, water tests and electronic testing procedures that detect microscopic defects not visible to the human eye," the company says in a statement.
The Selected mapping is a compromise between minimal operative setup (one acquisition and four tracking) and the needs of dependability testing processes, where individual cores may be taken offline for testing purposes.
In the first ever book published on language testing, Lado ([1961]) defined reliability as the dependability with which a test would yield a similar score if a student were to take the test again.
There are many different approaches for evaluating system dependability, and testing has been always an important one, being fault removal one of the means to achieve dependable systems.
Confirmability was sought using the two phase process described above, and the credibility, transferability and dependability were tested by presenting our findings to the project's multidisciplinary Advisory group.
We calculated dependability coefficients for test situations in which random raters are used (equation 2) and for a situation using a fixed rater pair (equation 4).
Based on these estimates, we subsequently performed a series of decision studies (D-studies), in which dependability coefficients for test situations with different combinations of numbers of raters and cases were calculated with equation 2 by GENOVA, for both the TTE global rating score and the TTE total checklist scores respectively.
In this paper we propose novel distance relay algorithms and a new test methodology for assessing the security and dependability of protective relay operations.
