Abstract:
|
Similarity between objects is determined by comparing different characteristics, as a result the definition of similarity varies depending on the situation. Similarity measures are often used to study the association between two factors. In this study, we use similarity measures to determine the reliability of binary responses on repeated questionnaires. The technique is demonstrated using data collected from a nursing study.
