Evaluation Reliability Measure

An Evaluation Reliability Measure is a reliability measure that quantifies consistency and reproducibility of evaluation judgments across evaluators or evaluation instances.

• AKA: Evaluation Reliability Metric, Reliability Measure, Consistency Measure, Reproducibility Measure, Agreement Measure.
• Context:
  • It can typically measure Inter-Rater Consistency among multiple evaluators.
  • It can typically account for Chance Agreement through statistical correction.
  • It can often identify Unreliable Evaluators requiring additional training.
  • It can often establish Reliability Thresholds for evaluation validity.
  • It can assess Temporal Stability through test-retest reliability.
  • It can evaluate Internal Consistency of evaluation instruments.
  • It can support Evaluation Quality Control through reliability monitoring.
  • It can guide Evaluator Training Programs based on reliability scores.
  • It can range from being a Binary Reliability Measure to being a Multi-Class Reliability Measure, depending on its category structure.
  • It can range from being a Pairwise Reliability Measure to being a Group Reliability Measure, depending on its evaluator configuration.
  • It can range from being a Raw Agreement Measure to being a Adjusted Agreement Measure, depending on its correction method.
  • It can range from being a Global Reliability Measure to being a Item-Level Reliability Measure, depending on its aggregation scope.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Agreement-Based Measures, such as:
    • Inter-Expert Agreement Measure for expert consensus.
    • Inter-Annotator Agreement for annotation consistency.
    • Intra-Rater Reliability for individual consistency.
  • Statistical Reliability Measures, such as:
    • Cronbach's Alpha for internal consistency.
    • Intraclass Correlation for continuous measures.
    • Krippendorff's Alpha for flexible agreement.
  • Domain-Specific Reliabilitys, such as:
    • Translation Consistency Measure for MT evaluation.
    • Diagnostic Reliability for medical assessment.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Validity Measure, which measures accuracy not consistency.
  • Performance Measure, which measures quality not agreement.
  • Efficiency Measure, which measures speed not reliability.
