@garybernhardt it exists, but it's pretty low fidelity & low coverage. @AndreasStefik has some research in this area http://web.cs.unlv.edu/stefika/ 

@philandstuff @garybernhardt That is not true. It depends on which scientific question. Static vs. Dynamic is well studied.

@AndreasStefik @philandstuff @garybernhardt Compared to what? :) Would be curious to hear your opinion of http://danluu.com/empirical-pl/ 

@danluu @philandstuff @garybernhardt Take a look at the papers. Hard to describe in 144.

@AndreasStefik @philandstuff @garybernhardt I did. See link. Strikes me as mostly toy problems with unrepresentative populations.

@AndreasStefik @philandstuff @garybernhardt Many studies avoid "complicated control structures", which includes loops and recursion!
