... 62 Method to Assess Potential Reliability This Chapter addresses the reliability of predictions obtained from the simple two-stage approach as it applies to rare crash types for which three cases may prevail. The three cases are as follows: ο‚· Case A: Models did not converge or were illogical (e.g., AADT exponents were negative or statistically insignificant at the 10% level)

... 63 Coefficient of Variation of Calibration Factor (Defined As CV) The CV of the calibration factor is the standard deviation of the calibration factor divided by the estimate of the calibration factor as shown in the following equation.

... 64 The Illinois validation dataset is used in this illustration for estimating the crash type/severity proportion as well as for assessing the resulting SPF when the proportion is applied to the parent SPF from California estimation data. The eight crashes in the Illinois dataset constituted 17.02% of all SD crashes and 38.01% of all KA crashes in the Illinois validation dataset.
