- What recommendations does Dr. Baggerly recommend for reproducible research? How do these correspond to what DataONE recommends?
- He recommends to record everything to avoid incomplete documentation. He recommends labeling as much as possible for graphs as an example. Also, he recommends providing the codes.
- Do you have any further reaction to this case after viewing Dr. Baggerly's talk?
- It is shocking how all of the analysis that proved the data to have significant errors were practically ignored and the clinical trials were permitted. Therefore, the deaths of the cancer patients that took part in this research trial could have been prevented.
- Look at the methods and results described in the Merrell et al. (2002) paper. Do you think there is sufficient information there to reproduce their data analysis? Why or why not?
- I don't think there's enough information to reproduce their data analysis. The reason I say this is that
