Robust Content Validity/Evidence
Method evidence record

Robust Content Validity

Robust content validity assessment applies outlier-resistant statistical methods to the aggregation of expert panel ratings in content validation studies. By detecting and down-weighting idiosyncratic or extreme rater judgements, it yields Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) estimates that reflect the consensus of the panel more accurately than standard averaging when one or a few raters deviate sharply from the group.
