# Design and Analysis of Replication Studies

Repository for the material of the workshop `Design and Analysis of Replication Studies' by Leonhard Held and Charlotte Micheloud
given at the SINAPE conference in Gramado.

## Course description
Replication studies are increasingly conducted in order to confirm
original findings. However, there is currently no consensus on how to
design such studies and to define replication success. The purpose of
this tutorial is to describe and compare statistical approaches for the
design and analysis of replication studies. The standard method based
on significance is discussed, as well as alternative approaches based
on effect sizes or meta-analysis. Participants will learn how to use
the R-package ReplicationSuccess and will apply the methods to real
data from large-scale replication projects. Prerequisites include basic
knowledge of R and familiarity with standard concepts of statistical
inference.

## Package installation 

```R
devtools::install_github(repo = "SamCH93/ReplicationSuccess",
                         ref = "T1Econtrol")
```
## Other required packages 

The necessary packages can be installed by running the first few lines in the script 'solutions.R'.
