Reliability of the measure of relevance.

Reliability of the measure of relevance for the two sample-problem expressed in sensitivity and specificity indexes. Two different distributions, uniform and bimodal, were used for evaluating reliability. Like the objectivity also the reliability property of the relevance measure goes up to excellent levels (sensitivity and specificity about 100%) with increased normalized biological differences and sample sizes.aMean rates (in %) of the variables detected as relevant or significant by .bMean rates (in %) of variables detected as relevant or significant by applying appropriate nonparametric tests.
