  2. Reliability (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_(statistics)

    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 ...

  3. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    From field failure rate reports, statistical analysis techniques can be used to estimate failure rates. For accurate failure rates the analyst must have a good understanding of equipment operation, procedures for data collection, the key environmental variables impacting failure rates, how the equipment is used at the system level, and how the ...

  4. Cohen's kappa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohen's_kappa

    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.

  5. Kuder–Richardson formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuder–Richardson_formulas

    The name of this formula stems from the fact that is the twentieth formula discussed in Kuder and Richardson's seminal paper on test reliability. [1] It is a special case of Cronbach's α, computed for dichotomous scores. [2] [3] It is often claimed that a high KR-20 coefficient (e.g., > 0.90) indicates a homogeneous test. However, like ...

  6. Survival function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_function

    In equations, the PDF is specified as f T. If time can only take discrete values (such as 1 day, 2 days, and so on), the distribution of failure times is called the probability mass function . Most survival analysis methods assume that time can take any positive value, and f T is the PDF.

  7. Spearman–Brown prediction formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spearman–Brown_prediction...

    For example, if a highly reliable test was lengthened by adding many poor items then the achieved reliability will probably be much lower than that predicted by this formula. For the reliability of a two-item test, the formula is more appropriate than Cronbach's alpha (used in this way, the Spearman-Brown formula is also called "standardized ...

  8. Technique for human error-rate prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technique_for_human_error...

    The method considers various factors that may contribute to human errors and provides a systematic approach for evaluating and quantifying these probabilities. Here are the key steps involved in the THERP method: Task Analysis: The first step is to break down the overall task into discrete steps or stages. Each stage represents a specific ...

  9. Cronbach's alpha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronbach's_alpha

    Cronbach's alpha (Cronbach's ), also known as tau-equivalent reliability or coefficient alpha (coefficient ), is a reliability coefficient and a measure of the internal consistency of tests and measures.
