An Example of Reproducibility using ReproZip uri icon

abstract

  • This depicts an attempt to replicate the findings from an article in FiveThirtyEight that examines gender bias in the movie business using the Bechdel test: a movie passes the Bechdel test if there are (1) two women in it, (2) who talk to each other, (3) about something besides a man. The data from this example is based on a blog post by Brian Keegan, which strongly advocates for reproducibility in data journalism.
