The word
[edit]Sorry is this even right.? Who made that comment about debate concerning the word repeatability? There are a substantial number of words in the English language that formed from a combination of a root word and the suffix '-able' (from whence comes the suffix '-ability'). I am removing that comment until it has better substantiation as to the dispute mentioned. So repeatability is a term associated with the machining process. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.234.90.214 (talk • contribs).
What is the difference between Reproducibility and Repeatability?
[edit]Currently these definitions can be seen on Wikipedia and to me (as only half-knowledgeable on this subject) they seem very much alike. Reproducibility is the closeness of the agreement between the results of measurements of the same measurand carried out with same methodology described in the corresponding scientific evidence. Repeatability is the closeness of the agreement between the results of successive measurements of the same measurand carried out under the same conditions of measurement.
