If one is really interested in verifying Einstein's theory, one could
start from the following text written by a fashionable Einsteinian:

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.html
Tom Roberts: "If the light emitted from a source moving with velocity
v toward the observer has a speed c+kv in the observer's frame.....The
Doppler effect is the observed variation in frequency of a source when
it is observed by a detector that is moving relative to the source.
This effect is most pronounced when the source is moving directly
toward or away from the detector...."

What is the value of k and how is it related to the frequency
variation? Judging from what another fashionable Einsteinian has
admitted, the Michelson-Morley experiment proved that the value k=1 is
correct:

http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001743/02/Norton.pdfJohn
Norton: "Einstein regarded the Michelson-Morley experiment as evidence
for the principle of relativity, whereas later writers almost
universally use it as support for the light postulate of special
relativity......THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE
WITH AN EMISSION THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT
POSTULATE."

But the problem is more complicated. If there had been more honesty in
the relativity cult, the experiment of Michelson-Morley would have led
to two competing interpretations:

1. AS FAR AS THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS CONCERNED, Newton's particle model
of light is correct. The speed of light is variable, c'=c+v, where c
is the speed of photons relative to the light source and v is the
relative speed of the light source and the observer. That is what the
emission theory says; no miracles (time dilation, length contraction
etc.) can be introduced.

2. The speed of light is constant, c'=c, independent of v, the
relative speed of the light source and the observer. In this case
miracles (time dilation, length contraction etc.) are OBLIGATORY -
without them the falsehood of the principle of constancy of the speed
of light (c'=c) would be obvious.

The first interpretation is true, the second wrong, and yet the second
was adopted in 1905. That was the beginning of a wrong science of
course but by no means a sin. The sin started when Einstein implicitly
reintroduced the true principle of variability of the speed of light
(c'=c+v), thereby obtaining correct results (e.g. the gravitational
frequency variation factor), and at the same time conserved the false
principle of constancy of the speed of light plus appended miracles,
thereby destroying the rationality of generations of scientists (see
Chapter 22 in Einstein's "Relativity" for more detail).

Einstein reintroduced the true principle of variability of the speed
of light in 1911 when he showed that the speed of light varied with
the gravitational potential in accordance with the equation

c' = c(1 + V/c^2)

where V is the gravitational potential. One can apply the equivalence
principle as shown in

http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~phys16/Textbook/ch13.pdfpp.2-4

Note that V=gh=cv. Substitute this in Einstein's 1911 equation and you
obtain c'=c+v. For that reason relativists do not like Einstein's 1911
equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) and often declare it wrong, although in 1960
Pound and Rebka confirmed it implicitly by measuring a frequency
variation

f' = f(1 + V/c^2)

As for the Doppler effect, it would be difficult for relativists to
claim that, although the frequency variation measured by Pound and
Rebka confirmed the principle of variability of the speed of light c'=c
+v, the frequency variation in the slightly different (no
acceleration) Doppler situation would be consistent with the false
principle of constancy of the speed of light c'=c.
