Score breakdown#

Category

Score

One-line note

Writing

6/10

Title in Title Case; sentence-case headings; multi-sentence paragraphs; “i.i.d.” in narrative.

Math

3/10

Systemic \begin{array} for matrices; \mathcal{N} for Normal; bare E_t.

Code

6/10

Spelled-Greek mixed with unicode; plotly import (binary package); install cells with hide-output.

JAX

N/A

not a JAX lecture

Figures

3/10

Plotly figures used (L919) without {only} latex directive (qe-fig-010, High).

References

7/10

30 {cite} used; many narrative author refs would benefit from {cite:t}.

Links

8/10

No raw cross-series URLs; self-contained.

Admonitions

N/A

no exercises, solutions, or proof-family directives.

Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

  • [qe-math-003] — \begin{array}{...} used systematically for matrices instead of \begin{bmatrix}. Example: lectures/knowing_forecasts_of_others.md:828, :830, :832, :834, :836. Count: 26 occurrences.

  • [qe-fig-010] — Plotly figures used without {only} latex directive for PDF compatibility. Example: lectures/knowing_forecasts_of_others.md:919. Count: 2 plotly imports.

  • [qe-code-006] — Plotly-orca is a binary package (!conda install -y -c plotly plotly plotly-orca); a binary-install warning admonition would be helpful.

Medium severity#

  • [qe-writing-009 (proposed)] — “i.i.d.” used in text instead of “IID”. Example: lectures/knowing_forecasts_of_others.md:163, :176, :479, :536, :1416. Count: 7 occurrences.

  • [qe-math-011 (proposed)] — \mathcal{N} used as Normal distribution. Count: 3 occurrences.

  • [qe-math-010 (proposed)] — Bare E_t for expectation. Count: 3 occurrences.

  • [qe-ref-001] — 7 narrative-style “in {cite}” patterns; some should be {cite:t}.

Low severity#

  • [qe-writing-005] — Bold for keyword definitions used throughout.

Strengths#

  • Title in Title Case (qe-writing-006).

  • Subheadings sentence case (qe-writing-006).

  • Sequences in curly brackets (qe-math-005).

  • Heavy use of {cite} for references.

  • Install cells at top with hide-output (qe-code-003).
