Discussing the individual coursework
In class today we discussed the individual coursework. I did my best to take all
questions and ensure everyone understood what each question is asking for.
You can see a recording of this here:

Some of the recurring points:
- If a question is asking for a generator then do not empty it (by using
list())
or step through an element of it (by using next()). This will result in the
generator yielding less things than expected.
- When finding the strategy spaces for a repeated game the code shown in “Using
Python to study Repeated Game with Nashpy -
YouTube -
Private”
is all you need (with an understanding of the theory). The
rows and columns of the transpose of a matrix correspond to the columns and
rows of the original matrix. So a game defined by \((A, B)\) corresponds to a
game defined by \((B^T, A^T)\) with the row and column players swapped.
- Question 3-a is asking for a single pair of values (there are many possible).
- For replicator dynamics I’d encourage you all to ensure you have a strong
understanding of the theory.
