The correlation between scores on the two alternate forms is used to estimate the reliability of the test. This method provides a partial solution to many of the problems inherent in the test-retest reliability method. For example, since the two forms of the test are different, carryover effect is less of a problem. Reactivity effects are also ...
Reliability index is an attempt to quantitatively assess the reliability of a system using a single numerical value. [1] The set of reliability indices varies depending on the field of engineering, multiple different indices may be used to characterize a single system.
In statistics, inter-rater reliability (also called by various similar names, such as inter-rater agreement, inter-rater concordance, inter-observer reliability, inter-coder reliability, and so on) is the degree of agreement among independent observers who rate, code, or assess the same phenomenon.
Cohen's kappa measures the agreement between two raters who each classify N items into C mutually exclusive categories. The definition of is =, where p o is the relative observed agreement among raters, and p e is the hypothetical probability of chance agreement, using the observed data to calculate the probabilities of each observer randomly selecting each category.
Software reliability growth (or estimation) models use failure data from testing to forecast the failure rate or MTBF into the future. The models depend on the assumptions about the fault rate during testing which can either be increasing, peaking, decreasing or some combination of decreasing and increasing.
During operation of the software, any data about its failure is stored in statistical form and is given as input to the reliability growth model. Using this data, the reliability growth model can evaluate the reliability of software. Much data about reliability growth model is available with probability models claiming to represent failure process.
The Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) is a reliability index commonly used by electric power utilities. [1] It is related to SAIDI and SAIFI , and is calculated as CAIDI = ∑ U i N i ∑ λ i N i {\displaystyle {\mbox{CAIDI}}={\frac {\sum {U_{i}N_{i}}}{\sum {\lambda _{i}N_{i}}}}}
The success of an IR system may be judged by a range of criteria including relevance, speed, user satisfaction, usability, efficiency and reliability. [2] Evaluation measures may be categorised in various ways including offline or online, user-based or system-based and include methods such as observed user behaviour, test collections, precision ...
