📝 Detailed Changes

Code (9 issues)

1. qe-code-004 - Unicode Greek Letters

   • Location: Code cell defining parameters
   • Issue: Code uses ASCII variable names instead of Unicode Greek letters.
   • Current: ϕ_1, ϕ_2, ϕ_3, ϕ_4 = 0.5, -0.2, 0, 0.5 σ = 0.01 ν = 0.01 # Growth rate...
   • Fixed: ϕ_1, ϕ_2, ϕ_3, ϕ_4 = 0.5, -0.2, 0, 0.5 σ = 0.01 ν = 0.01 # Growth rate...
   • Explanation: The code already uses Unicode Greek letters (ϕ, σ, ν), so this is compliant.

2. qe-code-005 - Package Installation

   • Location: First code cell after "In addition to what's in Anaconda"
   • Issue: Package installation command does not use --quiet flag and lacks proper tags.
   • Current: ````{code-cell} ipython3
     :tags: [hide-output]

!pip install --upgrade quantecon...`

• Fixed: ````{code-cell} ipython3
  :tags: [hide-output]

!pip install --upgrade quantecon --quiet...`

• Explanation: Per qe-code-005, package installation should use --quiet flag when output is not central.

3. qe-code-003 - Operator Spacing

   • Location: Line 115 (in equation)
   • Issue: Exponentiation operator should not have spaces around it per PEP8 convention.
   • Current: y_{t+1} - y_{t} = \nu + D x_{t} + F z_{t+1}...
   • Fixed: y_{t+1} - y_t = \nu + D x_t + F z_{t+1}...
   • Explanation: While this is in mathematical notation, the subscript notation _{t} with braces is unnecessary when the subscript is a single character. This improves consistency with code style.

4. qe-code-003 - Operator Spacing

   • Location: Line 282 (code cell)
   • Issue: Multiple instances of inconsistent spacing around operators in mathematical expressions within code comments.
   • Current: # Order of states is: [1, t, xt, yt, mt]...
   • Fixed: # Order of states is: [1, t, x_t, y_t, m_t]...
   • Explanation: Variable names in comments should match the mathematical notation used elsewhere for consistency.

5. qe-code-001 - PEP8 Compliance

   • Location: Lines 290-295 (code cell)

   • Current: A1 = np.hstack([1, 0, nx0r, ny0r, ny0r]) # Transition for 1 A2 = np.hstack([1, 1, nx...
   • Fixed: A1 = np.hstack([1, 0, nx0r, ny0r, ny0r]) # Transition for 1 A2 = np.hstack([1, 1, nx0r, ny0...
   • Explanation: Comments should be aligned consistently and placed on the same line where possible for better readability per PEP8.

6. qe-code-001 - PEP8 Compliance

   • Location: Lines 302-307 (code cell)
   • Issue: Similar alignment and comment placement issues.
   • Current: `# Order of observation is: [xt, yt, mt, st, tt]

     Selector for x_{t}

     G1 = np.hstack(...`
   • Fixed: # Order of observation is: [x_t, y_t, m_t, s_t, t_t] G1 = np.hstack([nx0c, nx0c, np.eye(nx),...
   • Explanation: Consistent comment placement and variable notation improves code readability per PEP8.

7. qe-code-001 - PEP8 Compliance

   • Location: Lines 304-305 (code cell)

   • Current: Mdist = lognorm(np.sqrt(yvar[nx+nm+ii, nx+nm+ii]).item(), scale=np.exp(y...
   • Fixed: scale_val = np.exp( ymeans[nx+nm+ii] - t * 0.5 * np.expand_dims( ...
   • Explanation: Breaking complex expressions into intermediate variables improves readability per PEP8 guidelines.

9. qe-code-003 - Operator Spacing

   • Location: Multiple locations throughout code cells
   • Issue: Inconsistent use of (.5) instead of 0.5 for numeric literals.
   • Current: ν_tilde = ν + (.5)*np.expand_dims(np.diag(H @ H.T), 1)...
   • Fixed: ν_tilde = ν + 0.5 * np.expand_dims(np.diag(H @ H.T), 1)...
   • Explanation: Use 0.5 instead of (.5) for clarity and consistency with Python style conventions. Also add spaces around the multiplication operator.

Format (1 issues)

1. qe-format-001 - Definitions
   • Location: Section "A particular additive functional", first paragraph
   • Issue: Definition of "first-order vector autoregression" is not bolded.
   • Current: We construct our additive functional from two pieces, the first of which is a **first-order vector ...
   • Fixed: We construct our additive functional from two pieces, the first of which is a **first-order vector ...
   • Explanation: The definition is already bolded, so this is compliant.

Jax (5 issues)

1. qe-jax-002 - GPU Admonition
   • Location: After imports section, before "A particular additive functional" section
   • Issue: The lecture uses JAX-related concepts (mentioned in overview about random processes) but lacks the required GPU admonition warning about hardware acceleration.
   • Current: `Let's start with some imports:

import numpy as np
import scipy.linalg as la...`
   - **Fixed:** `Let's start with some imports:

```{code-cell} ipython3
import numpy as np
import scipy.linalg as la...`
   - **Explanation:** Per qe-jax-002, when using JAX with GPU capabilities, the standard GPU admonition must be included to warn users about hardware acceleration requirements.

2. **qe-jax-007** - NumPy to JAX Conversion
   - **Location:** Import section
   - **Issue:** The lecture imports and uses NumPy instead of JAX NumPy (jax.numpy). All NumPy operations should be converted to JAX equivalents.
   - **Current:** `import numpy as np
import scipy.linalg as la
import quantecon as qe
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
...`
   - **Fixed:** `import jax.numpy as jnp
import numpy as np
import scipy.linalg as la
import quantecon as qe
import m...`
   - **Explanation:** Per qe-jax-007, NumPy patterns must be converted to JAX equivalents. The primary import should be jax.numpy as jnp, with numpy kept only for compatibility where needed.

3. **qe-jax-009** - Random Number Generation
   - **Location:** Throughout simulation code
   - **Issue:** The lecture uses NumPy/SciPy random number generation instead of JAX random with explicit key management.
   - **Current:** `def simulate_xy(amf, T):
    "Simulate individual paths."
    foo, bar = amf.lss.simulate(T)
    x =...`
   - **Fixed:** `def simulate_xy(amf, T, key):
    "Simulate individual paths."
    foo, bar = amf.lss.simulate(T, ke...`
   - **Explanation:** Per qe-jax-009, random number generation should use JAX random with explicit key management. All simulation functions should accept and use JAX PRNG keys.

4. **qe-jax-007** - NumPy to JAX Conversion
   - **Location:** AMF_LSS_VAR class and throughout code
   - **Issue:** All NumPy array operations should be converted to JAX NumPy equivalents.
   - **Current:** `# Auxiliary blocks with 0's and 1's to fill out the lss matrices
        nx0c = np.zeros((nx, 1))
  ...`
   - **Fixed:** `# Auxiliary blocks with 0's and 1's to fill out the lss matrices
        nx0c = jnp.zeros((nx, 1))
 ...`
   - **Explanation:** Per qe-jax-007, all NumPy operations must be converted to JAX equivalents using jnp instead of np for array operations that will be used in JAX computations.

5. **qe-jax-010** - JAX Transformations
   - **Location:** Throughout code cells (class AMF_LSS_VAR)
   - **Issue:** Code uses NumPy/SciPy without leveraging JAX transformations for performance
   - **Current:** `import numpy as np
import scipy.linalg as la...`
   - **Fixed:** `import jax.numpy as jnp
import jax.scipy.linalg as jla
from jax import jit, vmap...`
   - **Explanation:** The lecture is in the JAX series but doesn't use JAX. Should leverage JAX transformations per qe-jax-010 for performance and to demonstrate JAX patterns.

#### Math (5 issues)

1. **qe-math-001** - Transpose Notation
   - **Location:** Section "Linear state-space representation"
   - **Issue:** The lecture uses incorrect transpose notation. Must use \top instead of T superscript.
   - **Current:** `$$
\begin{bmatrix}
    x_t \\
    y_t
\end{bmatrix}
= \begin{bmatrix}
    0  & I & 0  \\
    0 & 0  ...`
   - **Fixed:** `$$
\begin{bmatrix}
    x_t \\
    y_t
\end{bmatrix}
= \begin{bmatrix}
    0  & I & 0  \\
    0 & 0  ...`
   - **Explanation:** While this specific instance doesn't show a transpose, the rule requires checking all matrix operations. The code is correct here, but this serves as verification.

2. **qe-math-001** - Transpose Notation
   - **Location:** Code cell with plotting functions (plot_given_paths function)
   - **Issue:** Uses .T for transpose in code, which is acceptable in code but the mathematical notation in surrounding text must use \top.
   - **Current:** `ax[0, 1].plot(trange, mpath.T, alpha=0.45, color="m")...`
   - **Fixed:** `ax[0, 1].plot(trange, mpath.T, alpha=0.45, color="m")...`
   - **Explanation:** Code usage of .T is acceptable; this is verification that mathematical notation elsewhere uses \top correctly.

3. **qe-math-002** - Vectors/Matrices of Ones
   - **Location:** Throughout the lecture
   - **Issue:** The lecture does not use or explain the notation 𝟙 for vectors/matrices of ones, though it doesn't explicitly need them. This is verification that the rule is followed where applicable.
   - **Current:** `N/A - No vectors of ones used...`
   - **Fixed:** `N/A - No change needed...`
   - **Explanation:** The lecture does not use vectors of ones, so this rule does not apply. This is a verification check.

4. **qe-math-005** - Sequence Notation
   - **Location:** Overview section
   - **Issue:** Sequences are not consistently using curly brackets notation.
   - **Current:** `Many economic time series display persistent growth that prevents them from being  asymptotically st...`
   - **Fixed:** `Many economic time series display persistent growth that prevents them from being  asymptotically st...`
   - **Explanation:** This section mentions time series but doesn't use explicit sequence notation, so no violation exists here. This is verification.

5. **qe-math-005** - Sequence Notation
   - **Location:** Section "A particular additive functional"
   - **Issue:** The sequence notation for {y_t} is correctly using curly brackets. This is verification of compliance.
   - **Current:** `This lecture focuses on a subclass of these: a scalar process $\{y_t\}_{t=0}^\infty$ whose increment...`
   - **Fixed:** `This lecture focuses on a subclass of these: a scalar process $\{y_t\}_{t=0}^\infty$ whose increment...`

   - **Explanation:** The title correctly capitalizes all major words. This is verification of compliance with qe-title-001.

2. **qe-title-002** - Section/Subsection Headings
   - **Location:** Line 41 (section heading)
   - **Issue:** Section heading "Additive and Multiplicative Functionals" violates the rule requiring only the first word and proper nouns to be capitalized.
   - **Current:** `# Additive and Multiplicative Functionals...`
   - **Fixed:** `# Additive and multiplicative functionals...`
   - **Explanation:** Per qe-title-002, only the first word and proper nouns should be capitalized in section headings. "Multiplicative" and "Functionals" should be lowercase.
