5 Reliability
This is a preview. There are 21 more flashcards available for chapter 5
Show more cards here -
What do reliability parameters mean?
How well patients can be distinguished from each other. -
How is the measurement error expressed in a graph?
How far the dots are from the 45 degree line -
How is SD expressed in a graph?
Reflected by the spread of values along the 45 degree line. -
When are raters included in the error variance?
When they are considered a random sample of all possible raters, then this creates systematic differences between raters -
Why is in ICC agreement rater variance taken into account and in ICC consistency?
In agreement variance of observers (O) is taken into account since we want to know differences in absolute agreement.
In consistency we are just interested in ranking, so variance of observers is not taken into account. -
What are two ways of calculating icc in spss?
Anova and then by hand
Scale analysis-reliability analysis-> choose two way analysis -
What happens to the formula when you need to average for several measurements?
Same formula is used with a small difference
In consistency variance of error/number of measurements taken
In agreement variance of observers+variance of residual/2
This results in more reliable measures since error becomes smaller -
Is pearsons R useful with the icc?
Only when there are random errors not systematic -
How can SEM be calculated?
Square root of variance in error(so only of residual, or in case of agreement of both observer and residual)
Differences between standard deviations of the raters. Take the differences between the values of the raters and calculate the mean and standard deviation.
SEM consistency is SD difference/sqrt(2) -
What is a bland and altman plot?
x-axis mean score
y-axis differences of score
dashed line is mean systematic difference
Two lines which represent the limits of agreement (dashed line±1,96x SD difference)
Makes a plot in which systematic errors can be seen easily

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
