AdaptiveSG.jl

This package provides object-oriented API to define, train, evaluate and adapt multi-linear Adaptive Sparse Grid (ASG) interpolations. It can be used to solve high-dimensional discrete/continuous time models; perform high-dimensional non-parametric estimations; and help with other high-dimensional numerical exercises. An explanation of the ASG method can be found in this post

Dataset: CountyPlus

CountyPlus is an open-source panel dataset that covers 3000+ U.S. counties from 2003 to 2019. It consists of 100+ variables, including demographic, geographic, household balance sheet, local economy indicators. Specially, this dataset estimates household consumption, measure of local financial friction, and measure of local nominal friction (Downward Nominal Wage Rigidity).
