Hey Shelby, where exactly is the CMI-PB GitHub? When I click on the link above, it just sends me to https://github.com

Also, are there any guidelines on how models should be written up? For example, a computational notebook could require the data files to be in the same directory, or it could try downloading the data from the website (which assumes that the URLs will not change in the future).

Hello Dr. Einav,

The URL for CMI-PB GitHub is CMI-PB · GitHub. We recommend that you upload your code to your personal GitHub repository and then link it to the CMI-PB topic to ensure easy tracking. Detailed steps for this process are mentioned in this post (Code submissiom).

It would be beneficial to include data files in your GitHub directory, considering its long-term use. Additionally, since each participant may have made their own data adjustments on top of what the CMI-PB team has performed, having the data files available would be advantageous.

Regards,
Rasteh
