The computational experiment: an econometric tool

A specification of the steps in designing a computational experiment to address a well-posed quantitative question, emphasizing that the computational experiment is an econometric tool used in the task of deriving the quantitative implications of theory.Econometrics ; Econometric models

epyc : computational experiment management in Python

epyc is a Python module for designing, executing, storing, and analysing the results of large sets of (possibly long-running) computational experiments, as are often found when writing simulations of complex networks and other domains. It allows the same experimental code to be run on single machines, multicore machines, and computational clusters without modification, and automatically manages the execution of an experiment for different parameter values and for multiple repetitions.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

Twitter’s big hitters

We describe the results of a new computational experiment on Twitter data. By listening to Tweets on a selected topic, we generate a dynamic social interaction network. We then apply a recently proposed dynamic network analysis algorithm that ranks Tweeters according to their ability to broadcast information. In particular, we study the evolution of importance rankings over time. Our presentation will also describe the outcome of an experiment where results from automated ranking algorithms are compared with the views of social media experts

TCEC Cup 3

This is a report of the 'TCEC Cup 3' computational experiment, the 3rd TCEC knockout event and the second major part of TCEC’s 15th season. It featured the best 32 engines of the ‘TCEC 15’ league event and the games were held at Blitz tempo. The different format called for different optimal settings in the engines, thereby enabling a comparison with performance at slower tempi. LEELA CHESS ZERO retained the TCEC Cup, defeating STOCKFISH this time. All decisive games in the supplementary data have been played out by FRITZ17 at search depth 24 to enable and benchmark endgame practice
