Definition

Observed associations differ from expected associations.

Explanation

Implementations within this domain examine observed associations against reference associations. Reference associations may comprise permissible ranges of associations as well. Furthermore, in case of reliability or validity associated measures, no explicit reference is specified. Rather common interpretation ranges apply based on the range of these measures, e.g. for an interobserver-reliabiity that should be as close to the value 1 as possible.

Guidance

Indicators in this domain are relevant to identify errors in the data which can be generated by false use of instruments/devices or errors in the transformation of data elements.Such errors may not become obvious in univariate analyses of data elements.
