Validation is defined as the determination of the reliability and relevance of a test method for a particular purpose.
Validation of an assay is a complex procedure encompassing the determination of its reliability and relevance.
The determination of the reliability and validity of scores from this type of scales using standardised methods is therefore absolutely essential.
Mohokum et al. [ 5] concluded that the determination of the reliability, that is, the reproducibility, for the Formetric 4D system, is essential, as previous studies had only evaluated the accuracy of the system comparing rasterstereographic evaluations to anterior-posterior radiographs [ 6– 8].
A method using numerical integration and curve fitting is proposed for the approximate determination of reliability of an engineering design.
A unique framework with a collection of the key reliability models is presented here to guide the determination of the system reliability based on the strength of malicious acts and performance of the recovery processes.
For the determination of the model reliability, the experimental data related to the naphtha feed, existing in literature, were used.
Suggestions with regard to the determination of the target reliability of the bridges in multi objects were also proposed.
The determination of inter-rater reliability may be important within departments but not necessarily between hospitals.
The whole test series was repeated in a subgroup of long-time patients for the determination of test-retest reliability For the analyses we used SPSS 17 for Windows.
