DAY 10: LATENT GEOMETRY AND AME

Start with day10_latent.html for the complete code walkthrough. Open day10_latent_teaching_deck.html for the presentation. The deck links to the exact walkthrough sections used in class.

The cache folder contains the fitted models used by the walkthrough, including the dynamic rank-zero SRM, the dynamic rank-two AME with 100 parametric bootstrap refits, the complete-pair cross-validation results, and the fixed-fit simulation checks. The earlier latent-distance and factor examples also have cached fits. You can run the walkthrough without waiting for those models to estimate again.

The data folder contains the Syrian armed-organization cooperation data and the ICEWS panel used in the dynamic application.

The file _build_icews_dynamic_cache.R shows how the final dynamic fits, cross-validation, and simulation checks were produced. Running it will take much longer than reading the cached results. It requires lame 1.3.4 or newer.

The files day10_notes.txt and day10_notes_phone.pdf contain Shahryar Minhas's presenter notes.
