https://doi.org/10.1093/ej/ueab067
Data Availability: The authors were granted an exemption to publish parts of their data because access to these data is restricted. The codes for the parts subject to exemption are also available on the Journal website.
Computational Reproducibility: The data and codes for this paper are available on the Journal website. They were checked by the Journal for their ability to reproduce the results presented in the paper. The authors were granted an exemption to publish parts of their data because access to these data is restricted. However, the authors provided the Journal with temporary access to the data, which enabled the Journal to run their codes. The codes for the parts subject to exemption are also available on the Journal website. The restricted access data and these codes were also checked for their ability to reproduce the results presented in the paper. Given the highly demanding nature of the algorithms, the reproducibility checks were run on a simplified version of the code, which is also available on the Journal website.
Replicability: Looking for replicator. Some of the intermediate may be downloaded for free.
