Overview

About

Maintained by Rasmus E. Benestad3 releasesCRAN page ↗

A set of R-functions providing some demonstration of inappropriate methods, and hence shed light on why some claims made in the climate science literature are unconvincing. Hence, these demonstrations serve as a study in 'agnotology' (the study of how and why we do not know things). Most of the flaws exposed are breaches of common practice within statistics, and these demonstrations show why such breaches result in invalid results.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/replicationDemos/replicationDemos_1.05.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "replicationDemos_1.05.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.05) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
