Internal consistency reliability is a poor predictor of responsiveness [PDF]
Background Whether responsiveness represents a measurement property of health-related quality of life (HRQL) instruments that is distinct from reliability and validity is an issue of debate. We addressed the claims of a recent study, which suggested that

A Comparison of Classical and Modern Measures of Internal Consistency [PDF]
Three measures of internal consistency – Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR20), Cronbach’s alpha (α), and person separation reliability (R) – are considered.

Internal consistency of reference equations [PDF]
To the Editors: In a recent European Respiratory Journal paper addressing the choice of reference values for spirometric indices, mean z-scores were used to quantify deviation from a large collated data set or to establish the absence of secular trends in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) [1].

An R Function for Cronbach’s Alpha Analysis: A Case-Based Approach
Cronbach’s alpha is a very commonly used method in biomedical research. Cronbach’s alpha Indicates the extent to which the items in your questionnaire are related to each other, a useful coefficient for assessing the internal consistency of the items ...

The internal consistency of Easton’s theorem [PDF]
AbstractAn Easton function is a monotone function C from infinite regular cardinals to cardinals such that C(α) has cofinality greater than α for each infinite regular cardinal α. Easton showed that assuming GCH, if C is a definable Easton function then in some cofinality-preserving extension, C(α)=2α for all infinite regular cardinals α.

Interpreting internal consistency of DES measurements [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bayesian evidence ratios are widely used to quantify the statistical consistency between different experiments. However, since the evidence ratio is prior dependent, the precise translation between its value and the degree of concordance/discordance requires additional information.

Health Literacy, Education, and Internal Consistency of Psychological Scales
Background: Measurement error might lead to biased estimates, causing ineffective interventions and service delivery. Identifying measurement error of health-related instruments helps develop accurate assessment of health-related constructs.

Consistency relations for internal waves [PDF]
A complete set of linearly independent relationships among the different cross spectral components obtained from pairs of moored instruments is derived which can be utilized to test whether or not the observed fluctuations within the internal wave frequency band represent a field of propagating internal waves. A further complete set of relationships is
