This file describes how to reproduce the results shown in the article.
The repository contains a mix of .tex and .Rtex files, as well as other files necessary for the proper generation of the article.
The .Rtex files contain LaTeX code (just like the .tex files) but, additionally, also include embedded R code used with knitr.
The R code can be run directly using an appropriate interpreter, such as RStudio, or compiled directly using R, RStudio, or Overleaf. For the correct execution of the R code, the researcher must set the repository root as the working directory, since the experimental data are stored in the data/ and calculation_of_deviations/ directories. The names and types of the data files are explicitly indicated in the R code.
The figures in Section VII are derived from data generated using reference code for the BSK and MR tasks, and also the AH and EP test suites. The calculation_of_deviations/ directory contains both the data and the Java code that generates them. The calculation_of_deviations/ directory contains an Eclipse workspace, so it can be opened directly using that tool. Minor adjustments may be necessary to run the code, such as specifying the particular JRE installed on the researcher’s machine who wishes to reproduce the results.
The test suites are available in the test_suites/ directory (as well as in the calculation_of_deviations/ directory).
