  2. Validity (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Validity is the main extent to which a concept, conclusion, or measurement is well-founded and likely corresponds accurately to the real world. [1] [2] The word "valid" is derived from the Latin validus, meaning strong.

  3. Validity (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity_(logic)

    A statement can be called valid, i.e. logical truth, in some systems of logic like in Modal logic if the statement is true in all interpretations. In Aristotelian logic statements are not valid per se. Validity refers to entire arguments. The same is true in propositional logic (statements can be true or false but not called valid or invalid).

  4. Validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity

    Validity (statistics), the degree to which a statistical tool measures that which it is purported to measure Statistical conclusion validity, establishes the existence and strength of the co-variation between the cause and effect variables

  5. Deductive reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning

    Deductive reasoning is the process of drawing valid inferences.An inference is valid if its conclusion follows logically from its premises, meaning that it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false.

  6. Logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic

    For example, modus ponens is a rule of inference according to which all arguments of the form "(1) p, (2) if p then q, (3) therefore q" are valid, independent of what the terms p and q stand for. [13] In this sense, formal logic can be defined as the science of valid inferences. An alternative definition sees logic as the study of logical ...

  7. Soundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundness

    In logic and deductive reasoning, an argument is sound if it is both valid in form and has no false premises. [1] Soundness has a related meaning in mathematical logic, wherein a formal system of logic is sound if and only if every well-formed formula that can be proven in the system is logically valid with respect to the logical semantics of the system.

  8. Test validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_validity

    Test validity is the extent to which a test (such as a chemical, physical, or scholastic test) accurately measures what it is supposed to measure.In the fields of psychological testing and educational testing, "validity refers to the degree to which evidence and theory support the interpretations of test scores entailed by proposed uses of tests". [1]

  9. Satisfiability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfiability

    In particular φ is valid if and only if ¬φ is unsatisfiable, which is to say it is false that ¬φ is satisfiable. Put another way, φ is satisfiable if and only if ¬φ is invalid. For logics without negation, such as the positive propositional calculus, the questions of validity and satisfiability may be unrelated.
