Summary: This study examined the test-retest reliability, responsiveness, and clinical utility of the Computerized Adaptive Testing System of the Functional Assessment of Stroke (CAT-FAS) in persons with stroke. The results indicated that CAT-FAS is an efficient measurement tool with good to excellent test-retest reliability and responsiveness. It can be used routinely in clinical settings to monitor the progress of stroke patients.

Summary: This article discusses the issue of reliability in neuroimaging studies using the test-retest method, highlighting the risk of low reliability in common cognitive tasks. It proposes a hierarchical framework to evaluate reliability, suggesting that traditional intraclass correlation statistics may underestimate reliability and more trials are needed for accurate reliability estimates.

Summary: Affective flexibility refers to the flexible adaptation of behavior or thought given emotionally relevant stimuli, and has been associated with emotion regulation efficiency. The study found that response time-based affective switch costs are a suitable measure for individual differences, with good internal consistency and test-retest reliability.

Summary: This study evaluated the test-retest reliability of CT-based quantification of NAFLD, finding that CT quantification has good reliability in assessing NAFLD. In NAFLD patients, CCC and ICC were high indicating excellent reliability, while in non-NAFLD patients test-retest reliability was moderate.

Summary: This study explored the test-retest reliability of grip force sense in healthy adult males and found that the reliability was highest at force levels of 20N and 50N. It is recommended that practitioners measure the absolute error and constant error when assessing grip force sense in a clinical setting.

Summary: The study discovered that functional hubs in the human brain network can be classified into three types (low-frequency, middle-frequency, and high-frequency) based on different frequency bands, with the hubs mainly distributed in regions such as the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, prefrontal cortex, temporal lobe, amygdala, and cerebellum.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of phase encoding direction (PED) on the test-retest reliability of functional connectome in fMRI studies. The results show that PA scans have significantly higher intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for global, nodal, and edge connectivity compared to AP scans. Better temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) reliability is also observed in PA scans. Averaging the connectivity outcome from both PEDs can increase ICCs, especially at the nodal and edge levels.

Summary: This article introduces the concept of Hesitant Bifuzzy Set (HBFS), which encompasses Fuzzy Set (FS), Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets (IFS), Hesitant Fuzzy Set (HFS), Conflicting Bifuzzy Set (CBFS) and Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Set (DHFS) as particular cases. The fundamental operations and basic properties of HBFSs are discussed, and a descriptive example is provided to illustrate the proposed concept and method. The significance of this study lies in its ability to provide a crisp value for the reliability of the system.

Summary: This study compared the impact of repeatable features determined by two methods on the reliability of radiomic models. The findings suggest that image perturbation can achieve similar reliability to test-retest imaging under specific conditions. However, careful consideration is needed when determining the optimal feature repeatability criteria.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the measurement properties of nine of the thirteen WOUND-Q scales and to conduct a test-retest reproducibility study in an international sample. Using Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT), the reliability and validity of eight out of the nine WOUND-Q scales were assessed. The results provided evidence of the reliability and validity of the scales measuring wound characteristics, health-related quality of life, and wound treatment.

Summary: This study analyzed the test-retest reliability of using a force plate to assess postural control in elderly cardiac rehabilitation patients. The results showed good to excellent test-retest reliability for the center of pressure (CoP) measures under open-eye conditions, and excellent reliability under closed-eye conditions.

Summary: In this study, the authors suggest using retest-adjusted correlations as a valuable method to adjust for item-level unreliability. The results show that retest-adjusted correlations are better predictors of whether two items have the same meaning compared to raw-score correlations.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of the functional head impulse test (fHIT) in healthy young adults. The results showed that the test-retest reliability of the fHIT device was moderate, which may be influenced by attention, cognition, and fatigue.

Summary: It has been suggested that parameter estimates of computational models can help understand individual differences at the process level. Computational psychiatry is a research field that has embraced this approach, known as computational phenotyping. This study investigates the test-retest reliability of reinforcement learning models in two common learning paradigms and finds that while reliability is high for personality and cognitive measures, it is generally poor for the parameter estimates of the models.
