Have a day off so I made some small updates to FKRBDemand.jl (new name!). Hopefully it's now easier to use the Fox-Kim-Ryan-Bajari method to estimate a random coefficient model with market-level data (2-step approach described here: www.jamesbrandecon.com/blog/0jxkvfr...) github.com/jamesbrandec...

Excited about this new paper with @jamesbrandecon.bsky.social! We use theory-driven priors to regularize nonparametric demand, with some interesting computation strategies to boot. Details and link in the thread.
