Main Project here: Estimating Unobserved Complementarities between Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists

How to run

In master.m, edit the options section to reflect what you want the code to do. Then run it, probably

Location/structure of the code

The old codebase is located in

 E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\OriginalCode

The new codebase is located in

 E:\McNair\Projects\MatchingEntrepsToVC\AdjustedCode

master.m

globals section

dunno what this does

options section

task: Can take the values {'data', 'monte', 'monte_data'}. estimator: Can take the values {'MLE', 'MSM', 'compare'}.

  • MSM stands for Markov State Model
  • MLE stands for Maximum Likelihood Estimation
  • compare
    • compare is valid only under task='monte'

use_solver: Can take the values {'fminunc', 'ga', 'patternsearch', 'cmaes'}.

  • GA stands for genetic algorithm
  • fminunc
  • patternsearch
  • cmaes
