On Reproducibility I have tried to make reproducible analyses in this sense. They are accessible on the web. When preparing these analyses I sometimes was caught in more or less hidden traps. This presentation shows how I escaped. Problems for reproducibility and some possible solutions – p.4/25
OS and environment dependency With Stata, OS and environment dependency is a minor problem. Problems can arise if you specify filenames in do-files—especially if your research-group works in different institutions with different local network structures. Do not use the backslash as directory separator. Code use subdir/mydata instead of use subdir\mydata Do not use absolute pathnames in a do-file. Do not code use c:/path/mydata. Interactively cd to c:/path and code use mydata in the do-file Problems for reproducibility and some possible solutions – p.5/25
