Question

Difference between reproducibility and replicability

Answer 1

Suppose you are doing an experiment where you determine the value of one parameter, say density of a liquid. You have two methods in doing this. By finding the mass and volume, and by using a densitometer. Reproducibility is when you get the same value of density for both methods. Replicability is when you have similar results in one method. So, replicability is a measure of precision, while reproducibility is a measure of accuracy.
