Now that you've done your own microarray analysis, we will revisit the case "Deception at Duke".

Reflection

  • What were the main issues with the data and analysis identified by Baggerly and Coombs? What best practices enumerated by DataONE were violated? Which of these did Dr. Baggerly claim were common issues?
  • What recommendations does Dr. Baggerly recommend for reproducible research? How do these correspond to what DataONE recommends?
  • Do you have any further reaction to this case after viewing Dr. Baggerly's talk?
  • Look at the methods and results described in the Merrell et al. (2002) paper. Do you think there is sufficient information there to reproduce their data analysis? Why or why not?
