is an attribute specification of some entity that is subject to change
A variable specification that includes the target entities and attributes, but not the population property
a document used to outline the content, format, and coding scheme of a dataset
an object that is capable of sensing environmental properties by collecting physical signals about these properties, translating these physical signals into (most often electrical) signals, and forwarding these electrical signals to instruments
an individual or respondent who provides information based on an observation about themselves or someone else
an object that receives sensed signals from detectors and processes these signals into numerical values
an item stem and its response option within an assessment
a question or statement used to prompt an individual to provide information regarding a latent variable

is a population whose individual members realize (may be expressed as) a combination of inclusion rule values specifications or resulting from a sampling process (e.g. recruitment followed by randomization to group) on which a number of measurements will be carried out, which may be used as input to statistical tests and statistical inference.

STATO
statistical sample
a cohort is a study group population where the members are human beings which meet inclusion criteria and undergo a longitudinal design
Process of transforming (translating) the generated instrument in the target langauge (i.e., a draft of the translated instrument), back into the language of the used instrument
Process by which someone who is blind to the original (untranslated) text resolves discrepancies between multiple forward translations
Process that includes an independent translator or an expert panel to identify and resolve any discrepancies between multiple forward translations, reconciling them into a single instrument. Requires forward translation to have occurred.
Process by which an individual or group of individuals review changes from the used instrument to the generated instrument and provide feedback to others associated with the activity
Process of transforming (translating) the source language (i.e., the language of the used instrument) into a target language (i.e., the language in which generated instrument is to be administered)
A set of measurement instruments that have been derived from each other, are published by the same organization, or have some other reason for close association
Process that includes distributing the generated instrument to the intended target population and collecting feedback
the experience or construct that the question or statement used to prompt an individual intends to capture
a questionnaire scale with one or more subsets of questions comprising another questionnaire scale
a hypothetical or theoretical entity that can not be directly observed
an informant's observation or encounter in a situation or event
a questionnaire used to measure an individual's mental capabilities, behaviors, or psychological traits
