EXERCISE SIMILARITY AND ASSESSMENT CENTER VALIDITY 1 Are Improvements in Assessment Center Construct-Related Validity Paralleled by Improvements in Criterion-Related Validity? The Effects of Exercise Similarity on Assessment Center Validity

چکیده
Previous studies have found that factors that improved assessment center (AC) constructrelated validity also had beneficial effects on criterion-related validity. However, some factors might have diverging effects on constructand criterion-related validity. Accordingly, we followed recent calls to evaluate constructand criterion-related validity of ACs simultaneously by examining the effects of the factor exercise similarity on both aspects of validity within a single study. Data were collected in an AC (N = 92) that consisted of two different types of exercises. Convergent validity was better for similar exercises than it was for dissimilar exercises. However, regarding criterion-related validity, we did not find differences between similar and dissimilar exercises. Hence, this study revealed that improvements in AC construct-related validity are not necessarily paralleled by improvements in criterion-related validity.

Incorporating Biological Domain Knowledge into Cluster Validity Assessment
This paper presents an approach for assessing cluster validity based on similarity knowledge extracted from the Gene Ontology (GO) and databases annotated to the GO. A knowledge-driven cluster validity assessment system for microarray data was implemented. Different methods were applied to measure similarity between yeast genes products based on the GO. This research proposes two methods for ca...

OBJECTIVES Indirect comparison methods have been increasingly used to assess the effectiveness of different interventions comparatively. This study evaluated a Trial Similarity and Evidence Consistency Assessment (TSECA) framework for assessing key assumptions underlying the validity of indirect comparisons. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING We applied the TSECA framework to 94 Cochrane Systematic Rev...
