Description

One of the APIs that differ in julia and python versions is: tauchen.
Julia version is: Doc1
Python version is: Doc2

We can try to unify such APIs that differ in julia and python(like name of function arguments, position of parameters, etc.) which will help the users in migrating from one language to the other easily.

Some of the APIs are:

  • tauchen and rouwenhorst (#664 )
  • markov_chain_object.P vs markov_chain_object.p

Research direction

Start with the linked QuantEcon.jl tauchen documentation and QuantEcon.py's quantecon/markov/approximation.py around tauchen, then compare the checked tauchen and rouwenhorst items with the remaining markov_chain_object.P versus markov_chain_object.p mismatch. Done means the cross-language naming and parameter conventions are agreed and the listed API differences are resolved.
