reliabilities
Qualities of dependability
Reliabilities is the plural of reliability, the quality of being dependable or consistent.
The word appears most often in technical contexts where multiple systems or components are being compared: We tested the reliabilities of three different sensors.
In psychometrics, reliabilities refers to measures of how consistently a test produces results: The reliabilities of the two assessments were comparable.
