Some colleagues once tried to reproduce a published paper, with the full support of the original authors over many iterations, with a lot of back and forth, but they never managed an exact reproduction. There were just too many undocumented issues with data cleansing and so forth. Search for the abstract by Syntetos, Boylan, Mohammadipour & Goodwin here: forecasters.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/… | |

But trying to get these details right by email or phone can be very difficult in experiments involving real world artefacts/substances/hardware (as opposed to just computer code for example). It may be some noise or uncompensated variable in your environment or set up, or vice-versa, or both. So if having them over doesn't solve the problem, hopefully they will invite you back for a reciprocal visit to recheck with their apparatus and environment. | |
