Abstract

To understand and assess the concept “quality of life”, it must be analyzed. In this report it is postulated that quality of life covers life as a whole as well as different subdomains of life. Life quality is defined as perceived global satisfaction and satisfaction within a number of key domains with special emphasis on well-being. A comprehensive chart of relevant life domains is presented and a flexible package of tested rating techniques outlined. In order to obtain valid and sensitive assessments, pincer operations with various types of ratings are recommended.

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.
