Reproducibility in Sciences (SciRep)

Working Group leader: Berna Devezer

Group members: Erkan Buzbas, Gustavo Nardin, Bert Baumgaertner

Originated: Fall 2015

Description:

Our team aims to study the current problem of nonreproducibility of scientific results across multiple disciplines by advancing theory. We use statistical theory and stochastic modeling to identify theoretical meaning and determinants of irreproducibility.
