How ChatGPT Helped Code a Copula Model Without Human Input
This study explores how ChatGPT autonomously generated, optimized, and parallelized copula model code in Python and R, highlighting AI's evolving role in coding.
What Works (and Doesn’t) When Coding with ChatGPT
Pair programming with ChatGPT offers speed, flexibility, and learning benefits. However, it struggles with uncommon tasks, reasoning errors, and lacks memory. Verification by humans is essential.
Debugging Copulas and Speeding Up Simulations with AI
This excerpt explores how ChatGPT assists with debugging and porting code across R, Python, and MATLAB, using a Clayton copula example. It shows how precise prompt engineering can resolve errors...
When AI Gets It Wrong—and Then Gets It Right
ChatGPT initially misapplies copula sampling, but after being guided with the proper theory, it corrects its code and demonstrates a strong ability to learn and assist in statistical modeling.
ChatGPT, Symbolic Math, and the Struggle for Accuracy
While ChatGPT struggles to deduce the correct Clayton copula density formula—highlighting its reasoning limits—it excels once the correct expression is provided. Using short, natural prompts, it outputs clean code in...
Testing ChatGPT as a Pair Programming Partner
This section simulates pair programming with ChatGPT, where the human plays navigator and the AI writes code for statistical modeling. Starting with simple tasks, the complexity increases, exposing both ChatGPT’s...
Exploring AI Memory, Limitations, and Workarounds in Practice
This section outlines a method to test ChatGPT’s ability to solve technical coding tasks via natural language prompts, simulating real client-engineer workflows. It details the communication strategy, context window limitations,...
Using AI to Build a Monte Carlo Simulation
