If one is unwilling to share their data and methods, then they should not participate in scientific research. The American Physical Society, for one, expects scientists to "Expose their ideas and results to independent testing and replication by others. This requires the open exchange of data, procedures and materials."* In this case, reproduction is not an option—even by the original authors.
