 Earp and Trafimow (2015) attempt to formalise the way in which replication is epistemically valuable, and they do this using a Bayesian framework to explicate the inferences drawn from replication studies. They present the framework in a context similar to that of Collins (1985), noting that “it is well-nigh impossible to say conclusively what [replication results] mean” (Earp &amp; Trafimow, 2015: 3). But while replication studies are often not conclusive, they do believe that such studies can be informative, and their Bayesian framework depicts how this is so.
