Configurations

To make the life of the user easier, here are some predefined configuration of parameters with specific characteristics.

How to use

import Fumagalli_Motta_Tarantino_2020 as FMT20

params = FMT20.LoadParameters(config_id=3) # load configuration
model = FMT20.OptimalMergerPolicy(**params()) # Do not forget the stars in front of the call

# Advanced use
params = FMT20.LoadParameters(config_id=2)
params.adjust_parameters(development_costs=0.11) # change parameters in the configuration
params.set_merger_policy(FMT20.MergerPolicies.Laissez_faire) # change merger policy
params.toggle_development_success() # change the development outcome to the opposite
model_with_adjustments = FMT20.OptimalMergerPolicy(**params())

Change the config_id argument for a different configuration of parameters.

Find Configuration

import Fumagalli_Motta_Tarantino_2020 as FMT20

# Find the configuration
config = FMT20.RandomConfig(
    merger_policy=FMT20.MergerPolicies.Laissez_faire,
    is_killer_acquisition=True,
    intermediate_optimal=True,
).find_config()

# Use the configuration to set up a model
model = FMT20.OptimalMergerPolicy(
    **config(), asset_distribution=FMT20.Distributions.UniformDistribution
)

See Fumagalli_Motta_Tarantino_2020.Configurations.FindConfig.RandomConfig for the available settings.
