nb-c7-reproduction · Capstone C7 — reproducing a published result end to end¶
Capstone C7 · Level 7 · Status draft — for expert review; uncertain points carry TODO(confirm).
This is the last notebook of the curriculum. Everything the eight levels built is pointed at one thing: take a paper with open data, write down what you are going to do before you do it, run it from raw, and say honestly what came out.
The capstone brief (spec §6, C7): choose a published EEG paper with open data; reproduce the primary result end-to-end from raw — preregistered analysis plan committed before analysis, a C2-style pipeline, QC reports, statistics, figures, and a written report with a reproducibility statement. Rubric: runs from a clean environment; every reporting-checklist item present; divergences from the paper explained; no claim exceeds the method.
The paper, by name:
Anjum, M. F., Espinoza, A. I., Cole, R. C., Singh, A., May, P., Uc, E. Y., Dasgupta, S., & Narayanan, N. S. (2024). Resting-state EEG measures cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease. npj Parkinson's Disease 10, 6. DOI 10.1038/s41531-023-00602-0.
Data: Singh, A., Cole, R., Espinoza, A., Cavanagh, J., & Narayanan, N. Rest eyes open. OpenNeuro ds004584 v1.0.0, DOI 10.18112/openneuro.ds004584.v1.0.0. Licence CC0,
access: open(data/directory.yaml).
nb-c6-rigor-audit audited this paper's reporting. C7 attempts its result. That is deliberate: the
audit established what the release does and does not let a reader reconstruct, and this capstone is what
happens when you try anyway.
A word about what "reproduction" means here, before any number appears¶
Reproduction that lands on a different number is a normal scientific result, not a gotcha. It is also not a refutation. Section 2 sets out four tiers of what the word can mean, and this notebook is explicit at every step about which tier it is on, because most published arguments about "failed replications" are two people standing on different tiers.
What a divergence at the tier this notebook reaches does mean: an independent implementation, from the released raw data, with a pre-specified plan, obtained this number. What it does not mean: that the paper is wrong. The two analyses differ in their measure, their preprocessing and their sample, and every one of those differences is written down in section 7 rather than discovered afterwards.
Scope, stated up front. The paper's headline index is LEAPD, a linear-predictive-coding measure whose implementation is described in the paper and is not in the data release. This notebook does not reimplement it (§7 says what that costs), so it cannot reproduce the paper's ρ ≈ 0.68 as a like-for-like number. What it can do — and does — is test the paper's claim with a pre-specified spectral measure on the same raw recordings, and reproduce exactly the parts of the paper that the release does determine.

1 · The target, and what the release determines¶
Three kinds of material are in play and they are not equally authoritative:
- The release itself —
participants.tsv, the BIDS sidecars, the recordings. Primary. - The site's catalog (
data/catalog/datasets/iowapd.md→data/directory.yaml), which records the paper's own reported figures. Secondary but traceable, and the source of every published number quoted below. - The paper's Methods, which this notebook does not read. Everything that would need it carries a
literal
TODO(confirm)naming the question a reader must take to the PDF.
The published figures this notebook treats as reproduction targets are printed from the catalog rather than typed here, so that a reader can see exactly what is being compared against.

2 · Four tiers, and which one this notebook reaches¶
"Did it reproduce?" is not one question. These four are the ones people mean, in increasing order of what they would establish and decreasing order of how often they are possible:
| Tier | What is re-used | What it establishes | Possible here? |
|---|---|---|---|
| T0 · Re-execution | the authors' data and their code | the paper's numbers come from its own pipeline | No. No analysis code accompanies the release (nb-c6 records this as the single change that would move the most audit items). |
| T1 · Reproduction of what the release determines | the released metadata | the published cohort description matches the data as shared | Yes, and section 4 does it exactly. |
| T2 · Independent reproduction of the claim | the released raw data, an independent implementation, a plan fixed in advance | whether the paper's claim survives a different analyst's reasonable choices | Yes, sections 5 and 6, on a documented subset. |
| T3 · Replication | a new sample | whether the effect exists in the world rather than in this cohort | No. The paper's own out-of-sample set of 32 patients is not in the release. |
This notebook reaches T1 and T2. It says so at each result, and the reproducibility statement in section 9 says it again, because a T2 result reported as though it were T0 is the most common way this kind of work is over-claimed.
3 · The preregistration, written before any recording is downloaded¶
The rubric asks for a plan committed before the analysis. In a repository the evidence is a timestamped commit; here it is the order of the cells plus a SHA-256 digest that every later cell re-checks, so a plan edited after seeing a result announces itself.
At this point nothing but participants.tsv and the kilobyte-sized sidecars have been fetched, and neither
contains any EEG. The plan is written against the design of the dataset, not against its signals.
PLAN = """
C7 PREREGISTERED REPRODUCTION PLAN -- Anjum et al. (2024), npj Parkinson's Disease 10:6
Data: OpenNeuro ds004584 v1.0.0 (ds-iowapd), CC0. Written before any recording was downloaded.
1. QUESTION Does a resting-state EEG measure index cognitive function (MoCA) in this cohort, as
the paper's title claims? This is a TIER-2 test of the CLAIM with an independent
measure; it is NOT a reimplementation of the paper's LEAPD index and is not
expected to reproduce its rho as a like-for-like number.
2. TIER 1 Reproduce, exactly, every cohort figure the release determines: N per group, age
mean and SD per group, sex split per group, MoCA mean and SD per group, and the
count impaired (MoCA < 26) per group. Agreement criterion: means and SDs within
0.01 of the published value (the precision they are published to), counts exact.
3. SAMPLE The first N_PER_GROUP participants of each group in participants.tsv order, with a
non-missing MoCA. Order is the file's; no recording is inspected before the list
is fixed, and no participant is swapped for another afterwards. A participant
whose recording fails the pipeline is REPORTED, not replaced.
4. PIPELINE Fixed here, in this order, and applied identically to every participant:
(a) drop non-scalp channels and any channel absent from the standard_1005 montage;
(b) drop the flat online reference (Pz) and, per the paper, Iz, I1 and I2;
(c) 1-45 Hz zero-phase FIR band-pass (the 60 Hz mains sits outside it, so no notch);
(d) drop electrodes whose robust amplitude is more than 6 MAD from the montage
median, or below a twentieth of it;
(e) average reference over the electrodes that remain;
(f) 4-s non-overlapping epochs from t = 10 s, up to 120 s;
(g) reject an epoch whose demeaned amplitude exceeds 150 uV on any retained channel;
(h) Welch PSD, one 4-s Hann window per epoch, averaged over epochs.
5. MEASURE PRIMARY: the aperiodic exponent of the 1-40 Hz spectrum (specparam, fixed mode) over
a posterior-central electrode set, which is a slope measure and therefore a
different quantity from the paper's LEAPD index.
SECONDARY: relative theta power, 4-8 Hz over 1-45 Hz, over the same electrodes.
Both are fixed here and neither is changed after any result is seen.
6. TESTS (i) Spearman rho between each measure and MoCA, across all analysed participants
and within the PD group alone. Two-sided. alpha = 0.05.
(ii) The paper's own dichotomy: MoCA < 26 versus 26-30, tested as a group difference
(Hedges g, Welch t, and a 10,000-draw permutation test).
(iii) Group difference PD versus control on each measure, same statistics.
No correction across the three families; every p is reported and none is selected.
7. DIRECTION Two-sided throughout. The catalog records that these patients were recorded ON
dopaminergic medication, which attenuates the off-state signatures of the disease,
so no direction is predicted for the group contrast.
8. CONFOUNDS Age and sex are checked in the analysed sample and reported whether or not they are
balanced. The group imbalance (100 vs 49) and the medication state are stated with
every group result.
9. STOPPING Every participant in the section-3 list is analysed. Nothing is added, dropped or
re-run on the basis of a result.
10. WHAT WOULD A Spearman rho whose 95 % bootstrap interval excludes zero, in the direction that
COUNT AS more impairment accompanies a different value of the measure, would support the
SUPPORT paper's claim with an independent measure. An interval spanning zero on a subset
this size would be UNINFORMATIVE rather than contradictory, and section 7 says so
before the number is known.

7 · Divergence — what it does and does not imply¶

DIFFERENCES = [
("The measure is not the paper's.",
"The paper's primary index is LEAPD, a linear-predictive-coding measure; the primary measure here is "
"the aperiodic exponent of the 1-40 Hz spectrum. These are different quantities computed from the "
"same recordings, so their correlations with MoCA are not two estimates of one thing. This is the "
"LARGEST difference on the list and it is a deliberate scope decision, stated in section 0.",

"band-passed with a 6th-order Butterworth -- and notes these are their ANALYSIS steps, not something "
"applied to the released files. The plan's chain is a 1-45 Hz zero-phase FIR with no notch (the "
"mains sits outside the band). TODO(confirm): the exact cutoffs and the epoching.",
"unknown size; a slope measure is sensitive to the band it is fitted over"),
("The electrode set differs slightly.",
f"The paper analysed {PUBLISHED['channels_analysed']['value']} electrodes (dropping Iz, I1, I2 and the "
f"Pz reference). This plan drops the same four and then drops amplitude outliers per recording, so "
f"the count varies by participant and is reported per participant in the QC table.",
"small"),
("The statistical test is not identical.",
"A Spearman correlation on a subset against whatever the paper used for its rho -- TODO(confirm), "
"since the release does not carry the analysis code and this notebook did not read the Methods.",
"unknown"),

REPRODUCIBILITY STATEMENT -- nb-c7-reproduction
WHAT WAS DONE
A tier-2 independent reproduction (see section 2) of the CLAIM of Anjum et al. (2024),
npj Parkinson's Disease 10:6, DOI 10.1038/s41531-023-00602-0, using the released raw data and a
pre-specified plan. Tier 1 (the cohort description) was reproduced exactly where it could be:
{int(tier1.agrees.sum())} of {len(tier1)} published cohort figures agree with the released
participants.tsv.
DATA
ds-iowapd / OpenNeuro ds004584 v1.0.0, DOI {TARGET['source']['dataset_doi']}, licence
{TARGET['license']['name']}, access {TARGET['access']}. Downloaded per participant over HTTPS from the
public OpenNeuro bucket; each recording was deleted before the next was fetched. No dataset file is
redistributed by this notebook and no derived asset is shipped.
Participants analysed: {int(res.ok.sum())} of {len(res)} attempted, selected by the plan's fixed rule
(the first {N_PER_GROUP} of each group in participants.tsv order with a non-missing MoCA).
FULL_COHORT = {FULL_COHORT}.
PLAN
SHA-256 {PLAN_DIGEST}
written {PLAN_WRITTEN} (UTC), before any recording was downloaded, and re-checked by assertion at the
head of every analysis cell. The plan text is printed in full in section 3.
CODE
This notebook plus notebooks/_shared/helpers.py, helpers_l1.py, helpers_l2.py, helpers_l5.py and
helpers_l6.py from the same repository checkout. No absolute paths; the notebook runs from
notebooks/capstones/ or notebooks/.
ENVIRONMENT
python {platform.python_version()} on {platform.system()} {platform.machine()}
{', '.join(f'{k} {v}' for k, v in sorted(versions.items()))}
RANDOMNESS
seed {SEED} for every generator; {N_PERM:,} permutations per permutation test and {N_BOOT:,} bootstrap
draws per interval. The permutation and bootstrap results are reproducible to the digit with this seed
and this NumPy version; they will move in the last digits with a different NumPy Generator
implementation, which is a property of the method and not of the result.
WHAT A SECOND PERSON NEEDS
The repository, an internet connection, about {2 * N_PER_GROUP * 36} MB of transfer and about
{(time.time() - T_NOTEBOOK) / 60:.1f} minutes of wall clock on the machine that produced these
outputs (of which {COHORT_SECONDS / 60:.1f} minutes is the cohort loop, download included).
No account, no data-use agreement, no licence to accept.
WHAT WOULD STOP THEM REPRODUCING THE PAPER ITSELF
No analysis code accompanies the release; LEAPD is described in the paper and not implemented here; and
the paper's out-of-sample validation set of {PUBLISHED['n_validation']['value']} patients is not in the
release. Sections 2 and 7 give the full list.
SCOPE OF CLAIM
No claim in this notebook exceeds a tier-2 reproduction on a documented subset with a different measure.
Every number is reported with the sample it came from and an interval; nothing is described as
confirming or refuting the paper.
