There were cultural conflicts, and separateness, and limits to transferability.
Likewise, this paper shows that foreign mean utilities may be adjusted to increase their transferability but it does not assess whether the error in the mean estimate, ie, the standard error, should also be adjusted.
Welte and Sculpher suggested that, in order to clearly structure the transferability assessment, it is necessary to systematically identify the factors that impact the variability (final factors) and to gather them into homogeneous categories (areas of variability) [ 21, 4].
For a further four studies, it was impossible to assess transferability due to incomplete reporting of sampling method and/or population characteristics [ 11, 48, 53, 61].
Moreover, the QoL measures used in this study are directly comparable with the ones used in the FREE randomized clinical trial of BKP [7], thus making it possible to address transferability of the RCT results to real-life.
Additionally, the method was adapted to gelatine gels to elucidate the transferability to model food systems.
While these values of kappa are interesting when it comes to discussing transferability of the framework, we considered the kappa value.23 too low for giving a reliable picture for the TIMSS Advanced items.
3) Do research and evaluation designs make it possible to assess transferability?
The uncertainties most often discussed were related to the transferability of the results to environmental conditions.
It has also led to increased transferability of concepts and results across fields, e.g., between coherence theory and confirmation theory as it is studied in philosophy of science.
