26.2 Repeatability
Repeatability or “test–retest reliability” 363 is the variation in measurement, taken
by the same instrument, the same item, the same conditions, and a fixed period of
time.
A “less-than-perfect” test–retest reliability causes “test–retest variability”. Such
variability can be caused by, for example, “intra-individual variability” and “intra-observer
variability”.
A measurement may be said to be repeatable when this variation is smaller than
the pre-determined criteria, with in other words: differences to close to call.
Test–retest variability is practically used, for example, in medical monitoring of
conditions. In these situations, there is often a pre-determined "critical difference",
and for differences in monitored values smaller than these critical differences,
the possibility of pre-test variability as a specific cause of the differences,
may be considered in addition to e.g. explicities of diagnostics and treatments. 364
26.3 Repeatability within my research
Repeatability can be mentioned “manifest” if we find similar test-patterns, with
comparable outcome, obtained under the same test conditions, acts and equal variability’s.
Forasmuch the statistical elaboration needs some fixed pillars.
Only by sufficient statistical notions we can conclude the repeatability of the system.

which shares the general information of the computer database and the individual
