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

[Christophe Pouzat <christophe.pouzat@gmail.com>]

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.

A brief history of this approach is presented first, starting with what economists have been calling replication since the early eighties to end with what is now called reproducible research in computational data analysis oriented fields like statistics and signal processing. Since efficient tools are instrumental for a routine implementation of these approaches, a description of some of the available ones is presented next. A toy example demonstrates then the use of two open source software programs for reproducible data analysis: the “Sweave family” and the org-mode of emacs. The former is bound to R while the latter can be used with R, Matlab, Python and many more “generalist” data processing software. Both solutions can be used with Unix-like, Windows and Mac families of operating systems. It is argued that neuroscientists could communicate much more efficiently their results by adopting the reproducible research paradigm from their lab books all the way to their articles, thesis and books."

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.
