	Consistency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consistency means: "the property of holding together and retaining shape." This is the most commonly-used definition of the word.
		In statistics, consistency refers to a property of estimators and estimation.
		Consistency is also occasionally used as a synonym for composition, density or viscosity.

		Consistency – The criterion consistency refers to the way interface design choices (codes, naming, formats, procedures, etc.) are maintained in similar contexts, and are different when applied to different contexts.
		The criterion quality of error messages refers to the phrasing and the content of error messages, that is: their relevance, readability, and specificity about the nature of the errors (syntax, format, etc.) and the actions needed to correct them.
		The criterion compatibility refers to the match between users’ characteristics (memory, perceptions, customs, skills, age, expectations, etc.) and task characteristics on the one hand, and the organisation of the output, input, and dialogue for a given application, in the other hand.

		The description of the criterion has been modified to confirm that it is not necessary that measures be designated as “key.” The scoring rubric has also been modified to assure that the conditions that would generate 0 points are mutually exclusive from the conditions that would generate 1 point.
		Purpose--The purposes of this criterion are to allow users to (1) compare an organization’s performance from period to period, (2) better understand, and be familiar with, the organization’s performance over time, and (3) be informed of changes in measures or methodology and the reasons for those changes.
		Hence, the absence of an identification of the source of the goals and objectives, a Criterion 2 concern, is likely to require a comment regarding the absence of a discussion of the involvement of the different groups in the establishment of the goals and objectives, a Criterion 3 concern.

	Accounting and Bookkeeping - MSN Encarta
		The consistency criterion states that the accounting procedures used at a given time should conform with the procedures previously used for that activity.
		Equities consist of the organization's liabilities, which are its obligations together with the equity interest of its owners.
		Financing activities consist of the cash proceeds from stock issuances and loans and the cash used to pay dividends, to purchase the company's outstanding shares of its own stock, and to pay off debts.

	John Dewey: The Influence of Darwin on Philosophy and Other Essays: Chapter 5: The Intellectualist Criterion for Truth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The criterion of thought must be infected by the nature of thought, instead of being a redeeming angel which at a critical juncture transforms the fragile creature, thought, into an ambassador with power plenipotentiary to the court of the Absolute.
		We do not appeal from the mere consistency of the reasoning process-the intellectual aspect of the matter-to an absolute self-consistent reality; but we appeal from the material character of the end to be reached to the type of the formal procedure necessary to accomplish it.
		The criterion of the worth of the idea is thus the capacity of the idea (as a definition of the end or outcome in terms of what is likely to be serviceable as a method) to operate ire fulfilling the object for the sake of which it was projected.

	Chapter 7
		A criterion may be a product such as "student correctly completes 10 mathematics problems"; a process criterion would be "student completes division problems in the proper sequence." If the test objective is a product, then product measurement is appropriate.
		Consistency is often evaluated by selecting only items (a) that are highly correlated with the total score (i.e., internal consistency), and (b) that contribute to total scores highly correlated with a second administration of the same test with the same subjects (i.e., test-retest reliability).
		Martin (1988) also noted that to increase the correlation between predictor and criterion, aggregate measurements of criterion and predictor are necessary to reduce unreliability in both measures.

	Tesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The main goal for developing a consistency criterion was to relax strong consistency criteria by exploiting the semantic of 3D data structure and thus expensive distributed coordination messages can be kept to a minimum.
		Serializability and the two-phase locking protocol, mainly studied and used in the database field, are the best-known examples of a consistency criterion and its associated implementation protocol.
		Control characteristics relate with the consistency requirement that some applications have and are specified during the initial negotiation phase within the inclusion of the distributed applications on the shared environment.

	What is color consistency? \| Light Sources and Color \| Lighting Answers \| NLPIP
		Color consistency refers to the average amount of variation in chromaticity among a batch of supposedly identical lamp samples.
		Requiring a color consistency criterion together with the stated CCT eliminates the problem of lamps with identical CCT values having vastly different color appearances, such as the lamps illustrated by Points A and B in Figure 8 (discussed in "What is correlated color temperature?").
		Their scatter exceeds even the more lenient ENERGY STAR color consistency criterion, defined by the region between the 3000 K and 2700 K CCT isotemperature lines.

		This criterion holds that diverse methods of study carried out in different populations under a variety of circumstances by different investigators have produced similar or consistent results.
		This criterion holds an association must be plausible and explainable in terms of known biological facts.
		The criterion of coherence suggests that all available evidence concerning the natural history and biology of the disease "sticks together" (coheres) to form a cohesive whole.

	Consistency criterion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A voting system is consistent if, when the electorate is divided arbitrarily into two (or more) parts and separate elections in each part result in the same choice being selected, an election of the entire electorate also selects that alternative.
		It has been proven a preferential voting system is consistent if and only if it is a positional voting system.
		The failure of the consistency criterion can be seen as an example of Simpson's paradox.

		Method consistency accommodates the method scope as consistency criterion, i.e., a violation of method consistency indicates a violation of atomicity at the method level.
		Method consistency is assessed among the method and lock views according to the overlap and chain criteria.
		The narrowing of the consistency notion to variables of the same class and the compaction of method reports along the caller hierarchy result in a moderate number of reports for the programs we assessed.

	A Matter of Faith
		For a mathematical system to be "logically consistent" it must be contradiction-free in the sense that not only must the axioms themselves be free from contradiction but also all of the logically deduced theorems.
		Hence, empirical consistency itself is subject to question and arguments asserting unreasonable effectiveness with respect to it are doubly vulnerable.
		Since the issue for us is the logical consistency of the natural numbers (and hence the entire mathematical edifice erected upon it), let us use their axiom system as an example.

	RR-2999 : Static and Dynamic Adaptation of Transactional Consistency
		Several notions of consistency are known from the literature, among them are causal consistency, causal serializability, and serializability.
		A consistency criterion selected is manifested as a set of rules forming the policy.
		Since a policy is implemented as a set of rules, switching on-the-fly from one consistency criterion to another one can easily be done whenever changes in access patterns or cost/availability requirements suggest a modification.

	[Jdm-society] Coherence and Correspondence (RE: On Samuelson "Letaxioms satisfy themselves")
		It's been assumed that one type of coherence (consistency with the axioms of expected utility theory) is necessary for correspondence.
		Coherence means internal consistency among beliefs and/or preferences.
		Chris points out that there are many types of coherence including logical consistency, obedience of the axioms of probability theory and expected utility theory, regular (i.e., intertemporal) reliability and inter-rater (i.e., interpersonal) reliability.

		The version entry determines which replicas satisfy the consistency criterion.
		Since all the replicas satisfy the later version criterion, the entry is not required anymore.

		Conversely, items on our predictor scales are developed to have very low internal consistency, but each item contributes criterion-related validity for predicting a specific outcome measure, such as job performance.
		Because tests are developed to have high internal consistency, whatever criterion-related validity happens to be provided by each test item overlaps with the validity of other test items, and therefore is non-additive.
		The actual relationship between each predictor item and the relevant criterion is often curvilinear, making it extremely difficult to raise one’s score by giving false answers.

	Maternal Acceptance and Consistency of Discipline as Buffers of Divorce Stressors on Children's Psychological ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This study examines whether two aspects of mothering--acceptance and consistency of discipline--buffer the effect of divorce stressors on adjustment problems in 678 children, ages 8 to 15, whose families had divorced within the past 2 years.
		For child report of mothering, acceptance, consistency of discipline, and divorce stressors interacted in predicting adjustment problems.
		The relation between divorce stressors and internalizing and externalizing problems is stronger for children who report low acceptance and low consistency of discipline than for children who report either low acceptance and high consistency of discipline or high acceptance a nd low consistency of discipline.

		Enabling activity prospects that are not consistent with the activity norms and cost benchmarks described in the criteria may be prepared and approved under the regular GEF project cycle.
		While it is expected that enabling activities will lead to the identification of project ideas for further development, preparation and implementation of projects the preparation of project proposals consistent with the GEF operational strategy and guidance from the Conference of the Parties, need not await the completion of enabling activities during this initial phase.
		Enabling activity projects will be fully consistent with the guidance of the Conference of the Parties and will follow established and widely accepted guidelines and methodologies.

		Consistent: at completion, a database transaction leaves the database in a consistent state.
		The Consistency and Isolation criteria are not well-formed enough from a concurrency control point of view to allow us to be precise about the impacts of our decisions.
		By examining the definition of the ACA criterion we find that this is impossible, since satisfying the ACA criterion requires transactions to only read data from previously committed transactions.

		It is important to realize that this result didn't suggest that humans are consistent in every detailed decision, but that when judged by average performance outcome (surely the only test that matters) there were no real andtifferences.
		An example of the validity of taking measured performance as the criterion of consistency was seen in an ISILT test of inter-searcher consistency.
		Still recalculating the same data, one could say that document identity is not as important as amount: and if this were the criterion consistency finally reached a high level of 81 per cent.

		The consistency criterion addresses the the level of consistency guaranteed by the system for updates to the global data structure.
		Weak consistency guarantees that an update will be made global - but it does not guarantee that successive accesses will be consistent; i.e.
		Finally, some system provide no consistency guarantees and require all updates to be made global explicitly.

		The first correctness criterion consistency is based solely on the users' specifications and admit nonserializable executions that are acceptable to the users.
		The second correctness criterion orderability is a generalization of view serializability and represents a weak notion of equivalence to a serial schedule.
		Unlike consistency, the notions of orderability allow users to operate an isolation as maintenance of the integrity constrainst now becomes the responsibility of the database system.
