The replication of important findings by multiple independent investigators is fundamental to the accumulation of scientific evidence. Researchers in the biologic and physical sciences expect results to be replicated by independent data, analytical methods, laboratories, and instruments. Epidemiologic studies are commonly used to quantify small health effects of important, but subtle, risk fact...

Reproducible research—by its many names—has come to be regarded as a key concern across disciplines and stakeholder groups. Funding agencies and journals, professional societies and even mass media are paying attention, often focusing on the so-called “crisis” of reproducibility. One big problem keeps coming up among those seeking to tackle the issue: different groups are using terminologies in...

WaveLab is a library of Matlab routines for wavelet analysis, wavelet-packet analysis, cosine-packet analysis and matching pursuit. The library is available free of charge over the Internet. Versions are provided for Macintosh, UNIX and Windows machines. WaveLab makes available, in one package, all the code to reproduce all the gures in our published wavelet articles. The interested reader can ...

It is difficult to fix a problem without being able to reproduce it. However, reproducing a problem is often difficult and time-consuming. This paper proposes a novel algorithm, ReCrash, that generates multiple unit tests that reproduce a given program crash. ReCrash dynamically tracks method calls during every execution of the target program. If the program crashes, ReCrash saves information a...
