Inter-Rater Reliability of the Strain Index
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2004The Strain Index is one of several tools available to evaluate exposure to musculoskeletal stressors in the workplace in order to predict whether workers are at an increased risk of developing distal upper extremity disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine the inter-rater reliability of the Strain Index.

Reliable index for measuring information flow
Physical Review E, 2011The estimation of causal relationships from time series data is an important factor in predicting or regulating control in various fields. Usually, when estimating causal relationships, either a causality or a correlation measure is used. However, many studies fail to adequately consider qualitative differences and relations between these measures when

A Reliability Analysis of the Revised Competitiveness Index
Psychological Reports, 2010This study examined the reliability of the Revised Competitiveness Index by investigating the test-retest reliability, interitem reliability, and factor structure of the measure based on a sample of 280 undergraduates (200 women, 80 men) ranging in age from 18 to 28 years ( M = 20.1, SD = 2.1).

Reliability Indexes of Automated Perimetric Tests
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1988The "reliability" of a subject's automated perimetric test result is generally assessed by three measures: fixation loss and false-positive and false-negative rates. These reliability criteria were examined for 76 glaucomatous and 248 normal subjects who underwent visual field testing (C-30-2 program; Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, Allergan Humphrey ...

An Alternative Index for the Reliability of Telecommunication Networks
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1984A new index for evaluating the reliability of telecommunication networks compares the effectiveness of the modelled actual system with that for an ideal (absolutely failureless) system. The new index is not only general, in that it takes account of all the states and the number of channels between vertices, but the procedure for its calculation allows ...

Reliability and Validity of the Severity of Illness Index
Medical Care, 1986The authors discuss the objectives and definition of the Severity of Illness Index, which has been developed and refined at The Johns Hopkins University over the past 5 years. In addition, the training program for raters, the method used to ascertain reliability, and data from reliability testing in 18 hospitals are described.

Reliability index in geotechnics
Computers and Geotechnics, 1985Abstract In this paper, the reliability index β is examined for its applicability in geotechnics. A statistical finite difference scheme is proposed to evaluate partial derivatives of the limit state function, enabling the computation of the reliability index β.

Reliability of self-reporting of antibiotic consumption in the community - Index of Reliability
Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, 2014To date, there is no evidence to indicate the reliability of how patients self-report their own antibiotic usage in the community. Such data are fundamental in supporting antimicrobial stewardship practices, and so there is a need to determine its accuracy and reliability.Patients in the community (n = 476) were required to recollect their antibiotic ...

A procedure for evaluating the reliability of a gingivitis index
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1986Abstract A methodology is presented for assessing the reliability of an ordinally‐scaled index and is illustrated by using data from a clinical trial in which gingival inflammation was assessed with the PMGI index, independently, by 5 examiners. One of the examiners was an experienced examiner, the others newly trained.

Reliability of the periapical index scoring system
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1988Abstract — Data accumulated in one methodological and two longitudinal clinical studies employing the periapical index (PAI) scoring system were analyzed to assess the usefulness and reliability of the PAI system. More than 93% of pairs of PAI scores were either identical or deviated from each other with one step only for intra‐ and interexaminer ...
