Replicate, Replicate, Replicate

2011 Second International Workshop on Replication in Empirical Software Engineering Research, 2011
Replication is a standard part of scientific experimentation. Unfortunately, in software engineering, replication of experiments is often considered an inferior type of research, or not even research at all. In this paper we describe four different types of replication that we have been performing as part of validating the effectiveness and ...

Replication without replicators

Synthese, 2009
According to a once influential view of selection, it consists of repeated cycles of replication and interaction. It has been argued that this view is wrong: replication is not necessary for evolution by natural selection. I analyze the nine most influential arguments for this claim and defend the replication–interaction conception of selection against

Comments on “a Replication is a Replication is not a Replication”

Psychological Reports, 1964
( 1 ) Agreed with Franks (1964) that a replication should indeed replicate (as nearly as possible). ( 2 ) Agreed that the Ludvigson (1964) srudy was not a "precise replication" of earlier studies on drugs and eyelid conditioning (e.g., Franks & Trouton, 1958) though it was similar.

To Replicate or Not to Replicate?

GetMobile: Mobile Computing and Communications, 2016
To replicate or not to replicate experiments and studies seems to be a burning question in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community. This question is equally relevant to the field of mobile computing, where researchers face unique challenges when attempting to replicate studies of mobile device usage in the field.

To replicate, or not to replicate – that should not be a question

Ecology Letters, 2019
AbstractRecent simulations suggest that ecologists can enhance the predictive ability of models by designing experiments that maximise the number of levels of an experimental factor by sacrificing replication. Here, I describe how these simulations were based on a faulty metric of prediction success and reinforce the importance of replication.

The Psychology of Replication and Replication in Psychology

Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2012
Like other scientists, psychologists believe experimental replication to be the final arbiter for determining the validity of an empirical finding. Reports in psychology journals often attempt to prove the validity of a hypothesis or theory with multiple experiments that replicate a finding.

Replicating Tessellations

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 1993
A theory of replicating tessellation of $\mathbb{R}^n $ is developed that simultaneously generalizes radix representation of integers and hexagonal addressing in computer science. The tiling aggregates tesselate Euclidean space so that the $( m + 1 )$st aggregate is, in turn, tiled by translates of the mth aggregate, for each m in exactly the same way.

Non-replicative helicases at the replication fork

DNA Repair, 2007
Reactivation of stalled or collapsed replication forks is an essential process in bacteria. Restart systems operate to restore the 5'-->3' replicative helicase, DnaB, to the lagging-strand template. However, other non-replicative 3'-->5' helicases play an important role in the restart process as well.

A Model of Replication

Journal of the ACM, 1969
A one-dimensional array of finite-state machines is being considered as a model for sequence replication. The authors consider the initial state of the first k machines in the array as representing the sequence of k symbols to be replicated along the array.
