A project aiming to reproduce nearly 200 top cancer experiments found only a quarter could be replicated.

Here, a principled approach to the design of experiments with ordered treatments is provided. In particular we propose two classes of designs which are optimal for testing different types of ...

Thought experiments can have some advantages over real experiments: they require no special equipment, are low-cost, can be ...

Design involves crafting and coding an experiment, and here, they write, LLMs offer a groundbreaking approach to literature review, hypothesis generation, and experimental setup. LLMs could be used to ...

The experiment consists of a set of model runs; the design of the experiment specifies the choice of program inputs for each run. This paper demonstrates two applications of a Bayesian method for the ...

In the contentious world of animal research, one question surfaces time and again: how useful are animal experiments as a way to prepare for trials of medical treatments in humans? The issue is ...

In switchback experiments, a firm sequentially exposes an experimental unit to a random treatment, measures its response, and repeats the procedure for several periods to determine which treatment ...
