Reliability of reliability coefficients in the estimation of asymmetry [PDF]
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1995 AbstractAlthough promising to provide insight into the interaction between genotype and environment, investigations into fluctuating asymmetry suffer from a lack of standardization in the reporting of measurement error. In the present paper we show, using both anthropometric and odonto‐metric data, that the use of the reliability coefficient calculated

Empirical bayes estimates of development reliability for one shot devices [PDF]
, 2009 This article describes a method for estimating the reliability of a system under development that is an evolution of previous designs. We present an approach to making effective use of heritage data from similar operational systems to estimate ...

Reliability approach for safe designing on a locking system [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this work is to predict the failure probability of a locking system. This failure probability is assessed using complementary methods: the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Second-Order Reliability Method (SORM) as approximated methods,

On the Usefulness of Interrater Reliability Coefficients [PDF]
, 2018 For four data sets of different measurement levels, we computed 20 coefficients that estimate interrater reliability. The results show that the coefficients provide very different numerical values when applied to the same data. We discuss possible explanations for the differences among coefficients and suggest further research that is needed to clarify

The violent crime linkage analysis system : a test of interrater reliability [PDF]
, 2012 The interrater reliability of an internationally renowned crime linkage system—the Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System (ViCLAS)—was tested. Police officers (N = 10) were presented with a case file and asked to complete a ViCLAS booklet.

The standard error of measurement is a more appropriate measure of quality for postgraduate medical assessments than is reliability: an analysis of MRCP(UK) examinations [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Cronbach's alpha is widely used as the preferred index of reliability for medical postgraduate examinations. A value of 0.8-0.9 is seen by providers and regulators alike as an adequate demonstration of acceptable reliability for any ...
