RELIABILITY IS NOT VALIDITY AND VALIDITY IS NOT RELIABILITY
Personnel Psychology, 2000Interrater correlations do provide an index of reliability of job performance ratings. We show that the arguments presented by Murphy and DeShon (2000) lead to the radical conclusion that traditional measurement models–both classical theory and generalizability theory models–can be used neither with job performance ratings nor with other measures used ...

Increasing the Reliability of Reliability Diagrams
Weather and Forecasting, 2007Abstract The reliability diagram is a common diagnostic graph used to summarize and evaluate probabilistic forecasts. Its strengths lie in the ease with which it is produced and the transparency of its definition. While visually appealing, major long-noted shortcomings lie in the difficulty of interpreting the graph visually; for the ...

Can There Be Reliability without “Reliability?” [PDF]
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2004 Abstract : A recent article by Pamela Moss asks the title question, 'Can there be validity without reliability?' If by reliability we mean only KR-2O coefficients or inter-rater correlations, the answer is yes. Sometimes these particular indices for evaluating evidence suit the problem we encounter; sometimes they don't.

Organizational Research Methods, 2016
The current conventions for test score reliability coefficients are unsystematic and chaotic. Reliability coefficients have long been denoted using names that are unrelated to each other, with each formula being generated through different methods, and they have been represented inconsistently.

Philosophical Studies, 2008 This paper explores what constitutes reliability in persons, particularly intellectual reliability. It considers global reliability, the overall reliability of persons, encompassing both the theoretical and practical realms; sectorial reliability, that of a person in a subject-matter (or behavioral) domain; and focal reliability, that of a particular ...

This chapter reviews the reliability for fire pumps, controllers, drivers, and gearboxes. How the reliability can be predicted through fault tree analysis and single point failures is described. The types of failures and history of failures are examined and the most probable types of failures are presented.

The reliability of an instrument
Social Epistemology, 2004Salviati… in our time it has pleased God to concede to human ingenuity an invention so wonderful as to have the power of increasing vision four, six, ten, twenty, thirty, and forty times, and an infinite number of objects which were invisible, either because of distance or extreme minuteness, have become visible by means of the telescope.
