Re: Model specification

Mark

Are you still estimating parameters (as in your previous email), or now
running a simulation? LPM_specification (and all the other
specification scripts) are called by the run_estimation.py script when
you are doing estimation. When you run this, it stores the
specification and estimated coefficients in the cache and in the
database if you have one specified in my_estimation_config.py. Then
when you run a simulation, the simulation loads the specification and
coefficients from the cache, or from the database if your configuration
calls for the data to be loaded from the database. The simulation does
not use the LPM_specification script or the other specification scripts
-- those are only for estimation.

We need one or more tutorials on model estimation, it seems... I'll add
it to the task list, and welcome any help from others on this.
