COMPEL Glossary / reproducibility

Reproducibility

The property that re-running an experiment with the same code, data, and configuration produces the same results within declared tolerance.

What this means in practice

Distinct from replicability: reproducibility is "can the same team rerun it"; replicability is "can a different team, with different data or tooling, reach the same conclusion".

Synonyms

experiment reproducibility , result reproducibility
