Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T. Snelleman, H. Hoos, and O. E. Gundersen, "The embrace of open science: An analysis of a decade of AI research and 56 800 conference papers," Under Review, 2026..

| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 Inexact SCOPT for sparse cov. estimation |
| Open Source Code | No | All approaches are carefully implemented in MATLAB code with no C-coded parts. (No statement of code availability) |
| Open Datasets | Yes | This dataset contains 2833 stocks over a trading period of 1038 days, crawled from the Yahoo Finance website1. 1http://finance.yahoo.com |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper describes generating synthetic data and using real-world stock data, but does not provide specific train/validation/test dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or predefined split citations) needed for reproduction. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., CPU/GPU models, memory specifications) used for running the experiments. |
| Software Dependencies | No | All approaches are carefully implemented in MATLAB code with no C-coded parts. (No specific version numbers for MATLAB or any libraries are provided) |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | In all cases, we set Imax = 500, γ = 10 10 and = 10 8. ... Without loss of generality, we fix λ = 0.5, = 0.1 for the case n = 100 and, λ = 1.5, = 0.1 for the case n = 2000. ... All algorithms under comparison are initialized with x0 = vec(diag(b )). |
