Re: Implementing Reproducible Research

[tsd@tsdye.com (Thomas S. Dye)]

Aloha Christophe,

Chapter 8, Reproducible Research for Large-Scale Data Analysis, by
Holger Hoefling and Anthony Rossini uses Org mode for literate
programming and for reproducible research.  The article focuses on the
challenges faced by a large-scale data analysis, where the full R code
base might run hours or days to produce a final result.  The working
solution involves a program, makepp, that implements make based on hash
codes of files, rather than timestamps, which change with every
tangling.

Org mode was clearly central to the work.  It is favorably compared to
the tools sweave and knitr familiar to R programmers.

Thanks for pointing this out.

All the best,
Tom
