A manuscript on "reproducible research" introducing org-mode

A manuscript on "reproducible research" introducing org-mode

[Christophe Pouzat]

Dear all,

M. Delescluse, R. Franconville, S. Joucla, T. Lieury and myself (C.  
Pouzat) have just put a manuscript entitled: "Making  
neurophysiological data analysis reproducible. Why and how?" on a  
pre-print server: http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00591455/fr/
Although the paper has been written for a neurobiological journal, the  
reader does not have to be a neuroscientist to read and understand it.  
A toy example illustrating the use of org-mode + Babel (with Python  
and Octave) takes a fair part of the manuscript. Other tools like R +  
Sweave are presented and many more are mentioned.

I thank Eric Schulte for comments on the manuscript and Eric (again)  
together with the whole org-mode / Babel community for developing such  
a great tool.

Any comment, remark, suggestion on the manuscript is of course welcome.

Christophe

Most people are not natural-born statisticians. Left to our own  
devices we are not very good at picking out patterns from a sea of  
noisy data. To put it another way, we are all too good at picking out  
non-existent patterns that happen to suit our purposes.

Aloha Christophe,

Thank you for an interesting and useful paper.  I was happy with the
distinction you draw between reproducible analysis and reproducible
research, which certainly applies to my field of archaeology where
unique sites are typically destroyed by the data collection effort.  I
also think the emphasis you place on data preprocessing is just the
right approach; inclusion of the raw data in a reproducible analysis
opens up many possibilities, which must be a benefit to a scientific
community's pursuit of knowledge.

May I offer a suggestion?  Carsten Dominik published the Org Mode 7
Manual last year and it would be nice to see it cited in your paper.

@book{dominik10:_org_mode_refer_manual,
  author =       {Carsten Dominik},
  title =        {The Org Mode 7 Reference Manual: Organize Your Life
  with GNU Emacs},
  publisher =    {Network Theory Ltd.},
  year =         2010
}

All the best,
Tom

Dear Tom,

Thanks for these interesting and positive comments. I apologize for  
forgetting the obvious reference to Carsten's reference manual. I will  
definitely include it in the next version.
I hope that people in my field will come to think the way you do about  
sharing their raw data. I'm just afraid that the way is still long…  
but the goal is reachable. Raw data aside, org-mode is surely a tool  
which should help people experimenting with the "reproducible research  
paradigm". As I wrote to Eric (Schulte), M. Delescluse and I wrote a  
first RR manuscript 6 years ago based on R/Sweave. The manuscript  
never got submitted for different reasons, among them, the amount of  
work required to learn R and LaTeX. Learning about org-mode convinced  
me that it would be worth re-activating the project.

Christophe

Aloha Tom,

Not yet in print, still on the accepted papers list
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/aip/09284257), sorry. It
seems that I chose the "slowest" neuroscience journal!

Your JSS paper of last month (with Eric, Dan and Carsten) is great by
the way. It seems that I missed the announcements on the list when the
pre-print was posted, otherwise I would have managed to cite it in mine.

The bibtex entry for my paper (just downloaded from Elsevier site) is:

I will post on the list the "official" bibliographic reference as soon
as the paper is in print.

I see an ODT file in there - LFPdetection_in.odt
http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00591455/

May I ask how the document was produced. 

Do you have any insights on how the Org's ODT exporter performs wrt your
input Org file. Just curious.

Re: A manuscript on "reproducible research" introducing org-mode

[Christophe Pouzat]

Hello Jambunathan,

The ODT version was prepared "by hand" using LibreOffice. This was
written (last May) before your org-odt functions became part of org-mode
(if I'm right). I would now also do it with org-mode.

Re: A manuscript on "reproducible research" introducing org-mode

[Samuel Wales]

I applaud all of this.  Raw data need to be made available by default
(with only a few exceptions).  Org can help people reproduce all of
the succeeding steps also.

Another aspect is fraud, which is rampant.  A psychologist in Europe
recently accused of fraud was said to have been able to guard his raw
data from all colleagues for *ten years*.

His method?  Get angry at the requester.

Some people on the list might like to see the short (13 min) segment on
Duke University's recent problems with reproducible research

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7398476n&tag=contentMain;contentAux


and the heroic efforts to uncover what had been done (37 min):

Re: A manuscript on "reproducible research" introducing org-mode

[Samuel Wales]

As a followup to my last comment, this explains how Stapel
fooled almost everybody and kept raw data hidden:

  http://chronicle.com/blogs/percolator/the-fraud-who-fooled-almost-everyone/27917

And NYT "Fraud Case Seen as a Red Flag for Psychology
Research" which has a raw data take:

  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/03/health/research/noted-dutch-psychologist-stapel-accused-of-research-fraud.html

Thanks for the videos, Stephen, I will check them out.

I have been running across scads of fraud stories and interesting
studies on conflict of interest, reliability of research results, etc.
 It's all over the place, just scattered and nobody pays much
attention, perhaps not wanting to believe it.

Reproducible research aims directly at this stuff.  Chapeau!

I just ran across this article on reproducible research that some of you
might find interesting.

On reproducible research, are you guys aware of the relatively recent
project Knitr?  Basically, it is a new Sweave which integrate (i)
Sweave, (ii) TiKZDevice, (iii) cacheSweave, and (iv) code highlight into
one very well-functioning package. 

It kind of works with Org, but not ideally¹.  It might be nice to
integrate it closer with Babel-R, as it just-worksᵀᴹ.
