This repository contains the code of Synthrade simulator and input data.

R 3.2 or newer Python 3.0 or newer git bash installed

• Download or Clone the repository
• Run scripts from command line with Rscript

[CAUTION: This step takes a long time to run. Original .tsv files are huge and we do not provide it in this repository. We recommend to skip this preprocessing step]

• Download .tsv files from OEC [https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/] and store them in raw_data directory
• Run python scripts CalcTotalYears_sitc.py & CalcTotalYears_hs07.py Results: File TODOSYYYY.csv, where YYYY is the year. TODOSYYYY.csv files may be found at data/raw_data

• Run script create_raw_trade_matrix.R init_year end_year. Creates files RedAdyComYYYY.txt inside data/ directory. Each file stores the global ammount of trade among exporters (rows) and importers (columns), for one year.
• Run script filter_matrixes.R init_year end_year. Results: RedAdyComYYYY_FILT.txt files.

• Run script synthetic_model.R init_year end_year num_experiments . This procedure is CPU intensive, try to run it in batch mode. Results: RedAdyComYYYY_FILT_W_N.txt files, where YYYY is the year and N the number of experiment.

• Run script compute_gof_distributions.R init_year end_year. Results are stored in results

• Run script paint_lillies_test.R
• Run script paint_KS_plots.R
• Run script paint_matrix.R init_year end_year
• Run script paint_density_plots.R init_year end_year FS
• Run script compute_strength_degree_slopes.R init_year end_year
