in both the original study and in the replication study. Specifically, a study replicates if the data collected from the replication are drawn from the same distribution as the data from the original experiment. Multiple independent replications of the same study will be needed to definitively evaluate replication. Patil, Peng & Leek, Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2016 Reproducible research Key conclusions:
implementing scientific experiments to validate specific findings, is the cornerstone of discovering scientific truth. Implementing Reproducible Research by Stodden, Leish, Peng
because of the time, expense, and opportunism of many current epidemiologic studies, it is often impossible to fully replicate their findings. An attainable minimum standard is "reproducibility," which calls for data sets and software to be made available for verifying published findings and conducting alternative analyses. Peng et al, Reproducible epidemiologic research, Am J Epidemiol., 2006
as a different standard of validity from replication because it forgoes independent data collection and uses the methods and data collected by the original investigator. Implementing Reproducible Research by Stodden, Leish, Peng
of analytic data and computer codes uses to map those data into computational results is central to any comprehensive definition of reproducibility. Implementing Reproducible Research by Stodden, Leish, Peng
the simplest of analyses, the computer code used to analyze a dataset is the only record that permits others to fully understand what a researcher has done. Implementing Reproducible Research by Stodden, Leish, Peng
take the code and data from a previous publication, rerun the code and get the same results. Replicability is the ability to rerun an experiment and get “consistent” results with the original study using new data. Results that are not reproducible are hard to verify and results that do not replicate in new studies are harder to trust. https://simplystatistics.org/2017/03/02/rr-glossy/
your code in one file, your description of the results in another file? • Ever made copy-paste mistakes? • What if you were asked to change some models or revise the document? • Was it easy to maintain?
is the easiest • It's based on Markdown: simple human readable syntax • You maintain a single file! It has the • code, • figures, • description of results. • It then creates a file in the format you want to share with others.
Unfortunately, the mere reproducibility of computational results is insufficient to address the replication crisis because even a reproducible analysis can suffer from many problems—confounding from omitted variables, poor study design, missing data—that threaten the validity and useful interpretation of the results. Although improving the reproducibility of research may increase the rate at which flawed analyses are uncovered […] it does not change the fact that problematic research is conducted in the first place. Leek and Peng, PNAS, 2015
