Question

Repeatability and reproducibility are terms that operationally define

a. bias

b. accuracy

c. discrimanation

d. precision

Answer 1

Reproducibility is a term used to describe Precision.

Reproducibility: Reproducibility is the ability to get the same statistical results using the raw data as what was provided by the researcher.

Precision is sometimes stratified into:

Repeatability: The variation arising when all efforts are made to keep conditions constant by using the same instrument and operator and repeating during a short time period; and

Reproducibility: The variation arising using the same measurement process among different instruments and operators, and over longer time periods.

Thus, Option (d) is correct.
