Re: [Miase-discuss] MIASE paper - reproducibility

[Dagmar K. <da...@eb...>]

Hi James,

that is why we put "within a 'reasonable' level of tolerance" in the 
paper - meaning the reproduction of a stochastic result would be called 
successful even if the actual result numbers do not map 1:1, but the 
result does comply with the original experiment within a tolerance of 
whatever-limit...
So, I suppose with "different" Stefan does not mean "not identical" but 
rather "not within a certain deviation for the case of stochastic 
simulation".

Dagmar

(still the question is how precise to be when defining the accepted 
deviation)
