Re: Survey Design
Hi Martin, In short, this is intended for the following reasons: - Make the contribution of each person the same. - We are interested in relative importance rather than absolute importance, i.e. a person ranking all rules 5 is the same as one ranking all rules 1. - This is to simulate the idea of a ...

Re: Survey Design
Lealem should be congratulated for his very detailed work. Lealem has defined well the boundaries of our operation with this survey. Note that new technological tools may soon change these boundaries. Never the less the current survey design as it is presented in the wiki is very reasonable consider...

Re: Survey Design
Hi Tina, You have a point that this survey pales with regards to some clinical matters with regards to risk. Never the less, some preparation process is in order if we are to outreach a larger population. It is better that you think of the design template in the wiki as a set of questions helping to...

Re: Ten simple rules of credible practice
You will find this recording loosely related to this discussion thread since Lealem and I are talking here on reproducibility and open source. Here is a link to the podcast: Lealem Mulugeta, Anthony Scopatz, Jacob Barhak, inSCIght, The Scientific Computing Podcast, Episode 32: Code Reproducibility a...

Re: Ten simple rules of credible practice
Hi Bill, Alas, if everyone would follow these rules then there was no need for this committee. You raise version control as an example of an obvious. Actually it is a good example of a rule not being implemented in many environments. If for you some of these tools seem deprecated, then you yourself ...

Re: Decision and Simulation Modeling in Systematic Reviews
Hi John, You are getting this correctly. There is a move towards big data in several communities. The more data we have, the better we can extract useful knowledge about observed phenomena. Think about it, there is little you can deduce from a single person even if we follow that person for several ...

Contrasts of Different M&S Standards & Guidelines
This is an edited summary of an email thread started after a face to face meeting with John Rice from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). Since this mail became interesting we decided to upload it to the forum to continue the discussion publicly. John Rice - about DoD: ~~~~~~~~~ They hav...
