A positive transferability measure is defined that measures the transferability of instance pairs with the same label from the source and target domains.
In local replication and local transferability, significant association is defined as P < 0.05 after adjustment for the number of effective SNPs in each locus.
According to the requirements of qualitative research, trustworthiness is defined as credibility, dependability and transferability [ 31].
In this case, transferability from a first learner to a second learner is defined as the performance of the second learner with learning from the first learner minus the performance of the second learner without learning from the first learner.
Transferability has been defined as the degree to which the results of a cost-effectiveness study performed in one jurisdiction are representative for another jurisdiction, frequently another country.
So, a key question raised by these interventions has to do with their transferability, which has been defined as the extent to which the measured effectiveness of an applicable intervention could be achieved in another setting [ 3].
The transferability of SSR information from one species to a related second species can be defined as the probability of success in PCR amplification using heterologous primer pairs designed for the first species [ 35].
The following principles will assist people to evaluate and use the evidence: (1) attend closely to transferability; (2) consider the influence of technologies on the evidence base; (3) query the design of meta-analyses; (4) ensure harms are defined and measured; and (5) improve risk communication practices.
Although transferability is a fuzzy concept, we tried to make it concrete by defining it along three lines, which are and could be investigated with further research: factors influencing transferability, research methods to produce transferable data, and the development of validated criteria to assess the transferability of health education interventions.
Transferability is also hampered by the fact that the studies applied different inclusion and exclusion criteria, recruited different ethnic groups, and defined outcomes differently.
