CONCUSSION SUB-TYPING Flashcards
Cluster
A set of persons with similar traits or characteristics
Symptom cluster
A set of traints or characteristics that occur in correlation
Phenotype
Any trait(s) or characteristic(s) that distinguish a specific state (e.g., a diesease), or any of its subtypes.
a correlated set of symptoms
Difference between Genotype and Phenotype?
Genotype starts with “G” or “gen-” for genes.
Phenotype starts with “P” or “ph-” for physical traits.
Test - Retest Reliability?
Measures the stability of a test over time.
How do you evaluate test-retest reliability?
To measure test-retest reliability, you conduct the same test on the same group of people at two different points in time. Then you calculate the correlation between the two sets of results.
What does a reliability coefficient of 0.90 mean?
An acceptable reliability coefficient must not be below 0.90, less than this value indicates inadequate reliability. For instance, r =. 90 on a test means that 90% of the test score is accurate while the remaining 10% consists of standard error
What Is Test-Retest Reliability?
0.9 and greater: excellent reliability.
Between 0.9 and 0.8: good reliability.
Between 0.8 and 0.7: acceptable reliability.
Between 0.7 and 0.6: questionable reliability.
Between 0.6 and 0.5: poor reliability.
Less than 0.5: unacceptable reliability.
Why do we use reliability coefficients?
Reliability coefficient quantifies the degree of consistency
