Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District was a decision by the Supreme Court that defined the rights of students in schools. The Tinker test is still used to determine whether a school's disciplinary actions violate students' rights

Director, Operational Test & Evaluation
an independent opeational test agency is responsible for the establishment of critical operational issues
The responsibility for reviewing and analyzing the results of operational test and evaluation conducted on major DOD acquisition programs falls under the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E). DOT&E is tasked with providing independent assessments of the programs to ensure they meet the necessary operational requirements and are effective for military use.
The type of variable that responds to the dependent variable is called the independent variable.
The operational effectiveness and operational suitability questions addressed during Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) are referred to as "Key Performance Parameters" (KPPs). KPPs are critical metrics that determine how well a system meets its intended operational goals and its ability to function in real-world scenarios. They focus on both the effectiveness of the system in achieving its mission and its suitability for use in the intended operational environment.
During the Operational Test (OT) effort, the purpose of validation is to determine whether a system or product meets its operational requirements and is effective in real-world scenarios. This involves assessing the system's performance, reliability, and usability in conditions that closely resemble actual operational environments. Validation ensures that the system fulfills its intended purpose and can perform effectively when deployed. Ultimately, it helps inform decision-makers about the system's readiness for deployment or any necessary modifications.
A test using relative errors comparing factors in a contingency table to determine if the factors are dependent; the null hypothesis is that the factors are independent.
To determine if the average scores of two independent groups are significantly different, you should use an independent samples t-test. This test compares the means of the two groups and assesses whether any observed difference is statistically significant. It assumes that the data is normally distributed and that the variances of the two groups are equal (or approximately so). If the assumptions are not met, a non-parametric alternative, such as the Mann-Whitney U test, can be used.

During the operational test (OT) effort, the purpose of validation is to determine whether a system or product meets its intended operational requirements and can perform effectively in real-world scenarios. This process assesses the system's capabilities, reliability, and overall performance under actual conditions to ensure it fulfills the needs of end-users. Validation helps identify any deficiencies or areas for improvement before full-scale deployment.
