Docs typos - aleph, CRRA and Livfa #707

Closed dentarthur closed 4 months ago

dentarthur commented 4 years ago

Gentle Introduction at: https://hark.readthedocs.io/en/latest/example_notebooks/Gentle-Intro-To-HARK.html

1) Hebrew letter "Aleph" appears. Normally only used for infinite cardinals. I would guess that the intention was to use latex \alpha not \aleph in:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/econ-ark/HARK/master/examples/Gentle-Intro/Gentle-Intro-To-HARK.ipynb

There are also two other likely latex errors highlighted in red at the above html page.

2) \CRRA

3) \Livfa

Only just started reading this so I won't attempt to fix using the "Edit on Github" link:

https://github.com/econ-ark/HARK/blob/master/Documentation/example_notebooks/Gentle-Intro-To-HARK.ipynb

Better for somebody familiar with intended result for all three errors to do it.

PS Thanks for this software!!! I hope to get involved as soon as I can.

$\aleph$ was intentional in this case, being taken from the notation in a particular set of lecture notes. In most other places, we use $\cancel{\mathsf{D}}$ for survival probability LivPrb.
