Repeatability, replicability, reproducibility, oh my! (2014-04-03)

We often see a word "reproducibility" in a scientific context, as well as in a bug report of a software, and we know it plays an important role at analysing an uncertainty. But wait, there are a couple of similar things aside; "repeatability" and "replicability". How they are different from each other?
