Reproducibility

Reproducibility has been a widely recognized and discussed problem in the recent years. There are important and obvious statistical issues which have not been treated in depth, and it may be adequate to widen the view to a concept of verification rather than reproduction.

My interest in the topic of reproducibility was triggered by a request to contribute a chapter to a forthcoming Handbook on Reproducibility, edited by Harald Atmanspacher and Sabine Maasen.
