Reliability concerns quality or consistency. Most often it concerns the consistency or dependability of a measurement or service. Reliability can be found by looking for internal consistency which can be found using tests such as the split-half method, or by looking for stability, which might be measured using the test-retest method. Internal consistency refers to the consistency of the physical and social rules that affect online computer role-playing games. ... This page is a candidate to be copied to Wiktionary. ...
As the theme of The Reliable Source?, "realibility" means the opposite of itself. In this realm, "reliability" is a positive charecteristic that is attributed without regard to the actual, literal reliability of a subject. Often, subjects reliably spontaneous, inconsistant and even decidedly unreliable are celebrated for this alter-reliability. The Reliable Source? itself is reliably inconsistant in almost every aspect (save its consistant unreliability). Published irregularly by a revolving band of writers, disinterested in anything that resembles journalistic integrity, often disguised behind strange pseudonymns and all-around false aliases.

Researchers must demonstrate instruments are reliable since without reliability, research results using the instrument are not replicable, and replicability is fundamental to the scientific method.
Reliability is the correlation of an item, scale, or instrument with a hypothetical one which truly measures what it is supposed to.
Reliability may be thought of as the correlation of a variable with itself.
On the other hand, the formal reliability techniques that are routinely applied in many other industries are not commonly used in the construction industry.* This paper considers whether design-for-reliability concepts could be applied to structures and what steps might be taken during design, construction, maintenance, and remodeling to increase architectural reliability.
Although it is clear that the reliability of a system is known with certainty only after it has been used until it is worn out and its failure history has been faithfully recorded, design for reliability is a cost-effective step toward increasing the time period of reliable performance.
We define a reliable structure to be one that can continue to serve its original function (or a closely related function) for at least the design lifetime without a significant increase in main-tenance and repair costs.
