Installation
pip install -U cupid_matching
Accessing the code
For instance:
from cupid_matching.min_distance import estimate_semilinear_mde
An example
We create a Choo-Siow market; we solve for the stable matching in an infinite ppulation using IPFP; we simulate a sample drawn from the stable matching and we estimate the coefficients of the basis functions using both minimum distance and Poisson GLM estimators.

X, Y, K = 10, 20, 2
# we simulate a Choo and Siow population
# with 10 types of men and 20 types of women
# with equal numbers of men and women of each type
# and two random basis functions

# we simulate the market on a finite population
n_households = int(1e6)
mus_sim = choo_siow_instance.simulate(n_households)
choo_siow_instance.describe()
# We estimate the parameters using minimum distance
mde_results = estimate_semilinear_mde(

# we print and check the results

# we also estimate using Poisson GLM

)
