Repeatability
Repeatability, also known as test-retest reliability, is the closeness of agreement between replicate measurements using the same procedure, operator, instrument, and conditions, expressed as a standard deviation.
Repeatability and reproducibility
Repeatability and reproducibility are the two extreme conditions under which a measurement method's precision is defined, describing agreement between results under constant and deliberately changed conditions.
Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status
The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) is a brief neuropsychological test battery for adults, screening cognition in about 20 to 30 minutes.
Repeated low-level red-light therapy
Repeated low-level red-light therapy (RLRL) is a myopia-control treatment using short daily sessions of low-power 650 nm red light to slow myopia progression in children.
Repeated measures ANOVA
Repeated measures ANOVA is a statistical method testing whether means of several measurements from the same subjects differ across time points or conditions, using fewer participants than between-subject designs.
Repeated measures design
A repeated measures design is a study design in which the same subject is observed under multiple conditions or time points, serving as its own control.
Repeated random subsampling validation
Repeated random subsampling validation, also known as Monte Carlo cross-validation or repeated holdout, is a model-validation method that averages test errors over many random train/test splits.
Repeated sequence (DNA)
Repeated sequence (DNA), or repetitive DNA, includes tandem repeats (microsatellites, minisatellites, satellite DNA) and dispersed transposable repeats. Over 50% of the human genome is repetitive; repeats mutate rapidly, serve as forensic markers, and cause diseases like Huntington's.
Repeated syndrome measurement
Repeated syndrome measurement is the practice of measuring a quantum code's error syndrome many times in succession, so errors can be tracked and corrected while the logical qubit stays encoded, a key to fault-tolerant quantum computing.
Repeater
A repeater is a fixed radio station that automatically receives a signal and retransmits it, on another frequency or the same one, to extend communication range.
Repeating crossbow
The repeating crossbow, or chu ko nu, is a Chinese crossbow with a magazine that fires bolts rapidly through one lever motion, known since the 4th century BC.
Repeating decimal
A repeating decimal, or recurring decimal, is a decimal in which a digit or block of digits repeats endlessly; it is exactly equivalent to the number being rational.
Repeating fast radio burst
A repeating fast radio burst is a fast radio burst source observed to emit multiple bursts from the same position; FRB 121102 was the first, identified in 2016, and about 60 are known.
Repeating rifle
A repeating rifle is a rifled long gun with a magazine and a mechanical action that feeds the next cartridge, letting the shooter fire repeatedly without reloading.
Repechage
Repechage: a second-chance round in sports competitions, from French for "to fish out." Used in Olympic rowing, wrestling, judo, and track cycling, and introduced in Olympic track events from 200m to 1500m at Paris 2024, replacing fastest-loser (q) advancement.

Repellent protein 1
Repellent protein 1 (Rep1) is a Ustilago maydis precursor protein processed by Kex2 into small peptides that form amyloid-like fibrils on hyphae, enabling attachment to hydrophobic host surfaces and aerial hyphae formation.
