Computational reproducibility

Making computational mathematics checkable by others: version control, pinned environments, tests, notebooks, random seeds and data provenance, and reporting results honestly as exact, numerical, statistical or experimental evidence.

  • Package a computation with pinned dependencies, tests and a single command that reproduces its results.
  • Classify a computational claim as exact, numerical, statistical or experimental, and state its limitations.
  • Archive code and data with persistent identifiers, and cite software properly.

Definición

  • A computation is reproducible if others can obtain the same results from the same code, data and environment.
  • A pinned environment fixes the exact versions of all software dependencies.
  • Exact computation (integer or symbolic arithmetic) differs from floating-point approximation, whose results need error bounds to be meaningful.

Teorema

  • Floating-point results can differ between hardware and library versions, so tolerances must be stated.
  • A computer-assisted proof depends on the correctness of its code; formal verification or independent reimplementation strengthens the claim.

Errores frecuentes

  • Thinking a notebook that ran once is reproducible.
  • Reporting agreement to many digits as if it were proof.
