Abstract

“Reliability theory” is reinterpreted as a theory regarding the adequac with which one can generalize from one observation to a universe of observations. If the observation is randomly sampled from the universe—whether or not the universe consists of equivalent observations—the intraclass correlation provides an approximate lower bound to the expected value of the desired coefficient of generalizability.

“Roughly put, generalizability theory says that a measurement procedure is valid to the extent that it provides accurate estimates of the universe of observations that define the target concept (Cronbach et al., 1963; cf. Kane, 1982, p. 134).”

“[1] first introduced generalizability theory (GT) to the research community, and it continues to provide an elegant framework for conceptualizing how different sources of measurement error affect scores from assessment measures and how that information can be used to evaluate and improve such measures.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
