context: An expert could do this by having his reanalysis published in a peer-reviewed journal or by pointing to methodological flaws in the published study and explaining how she corrected them. However, an expert cannot simply, without any explanation for rejecting a published, peer-reviewed analysis, conduct his own "reanalysis" solely for the purposes of litigation and testify that the data support a conclusion opposite that of the studies' authors in a peer-reviewed publication.
