It's funny to consider that these errors slipped past the peer review stage. It really highlights the major issue with reviewing source code published as part of an analysis.

If there aren't enough resources / skilled eyes to catch these simple errors, what are the chances they would catch errors in source code too?

How many of the studies are doing anything statistically interesting though [ie new/different in the field of statistics]. In most cases it should be possible to have an analysis program, perhaps specialised to the field, in which you simply load the data attached to the study and look at however many regressions or time series or whatever you want - they're standard tools, surely you can download the data and put it in a GUI and look at the same graph as is in the paper in 2 or 3 clicks?? If not why not?
