Does a 1986 figure for a forest pest's timing hold up?
⚠ Inconclusive
1.559 model setting, the paper
No number came out of this run
Counts as holding up
An independent rebuild got a different number, which could be the rebuild's doing and not the paper's.
The write-up for this result is on its way. The verdict and numbers above are final.
- What the paper said
- dennis_par = c(…, 599.57, 1.559). The last value on this line is from Kemp et al. 1986, Table 1, copied into the replication's code
- What we got
- No number came out of this run.
- Whose code ran
- Independent rebuild
- What forecasters thought
- 50% expected it to hold up when forecasting closed. The forecast price never changes the verdict.
- Proof
- Read the receipt or see claim 23
What we didn't check
- Whether the sample was fair or large enough.
- Whether test data leaked into training or tuning.
- Whether the result holds on new data.
- Whether the study's method was the right one for its question.
