Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

None found.

Medium severity#

  • [qe-link-002] — One raw python.quantecon.org/markov_asset.html URL. Example: lectures/lucas_model.md:36. Count: 1 occurrence.

Low severity#

  • [qe-math-012 (proposed)] — '$p*(y)$' (L500) in a matplotlib label uses * next to p in a math context. Count: 1 occurrence.

  • [qe-fig-005] — Figures lack :name: fig-... fields.

  • [qe-fig-002] — 1 static {figure} (solution_mass_ex2.png).

Strengths#

  • \mathbb{E} and \mathbb{E}_t used for expectation throughout (qe-math-010, proposed), e.g. L106, L260.

  • Sequences in curly brackets \{y_t\}_{t=0}^{\infty} (qe-math-005).

  • “IID” used in text correctly (qe-writing-009, proposed) at L86, L385.

  • Italic for emphasis (qe-writing-005), e.g. L58 Pure exchange, L122 ex-dividend.

  • Equation labels via :label: and {eq} references (qe-math-007).

  • Title in Title Case (qe-writing-006); subheadings sentence case (qe-writing-006).

  • Exercise gated; solution has :class: dropdown (qe-admon-001, qe-admon-002).
