2018-01-26: Started to try to fix a bug that occurs both in the Adjusted and Readjusted code. The bug is that on the second stage of gmm_2stage_estimation, there is a matrix dimension mismatch. Also, I'm not really sure of the point of the solver at all. The genetic algorithm only runs a few iterations (< 5), and it is actually gurobi that does most of the work. Useful finding: this runs astronomically faster with gurobi display turned off (lol). 2018-01-25: Continued working on matlab page. Deleted unused smle and cmaes estimators. Not sure why we have so many estimators (that apparently don't work) in the first place. Deleted unused example.m. Profiled program and created an option to plot the GA's progress. Put up signs with Dr. Dayton for eventtomorrow.
2018-01-24: Kept working through the codebase and editing the matlab page. Deleted "strip_" files because they only work with task="monte_data". Deleted JCtest files because they were unnecessary. Deleted gurobi_gmm... because it was unused.
* only 'ga' and 'msm' work apparently, I have to verify this
* Christy and Abhijit both worked on this
* This program is supposed to solve for the distribution of "unobserved complementarities" between VC and firms?
2018-01-19: Wrote page [[Using R in PostgreSQL]]. Also started wiki page [[Estimating Unobserved Complementarities between Entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists Matlab Code]]. Tried to understand even a little of what's going on in this codebase
