BDS Errata about bds HOT 3 OPEN

I’ve started a list in the wiki but let’s just use this issue here for people to list and I can transfer them. We’re doing an update to the text in January.

I'm reading from the O'Reilly site (no page numbers).

• Ch.5, about a page above Eq 5.25: both 'pind' and 'p_counterfactural' (which is misspelled) are used to refer to the same object.
• Ch.6, last page: Extra 'thetic' in "They show that off-the-shelf ML tools can be used to efficiently build synthetic thetic ŷjt(0) series across large numbers of j."

First, a great presentation and very useful code.

I noticed few things which might be errors:

1. Page 47. Paragraph 1. I think it needs to read '... you need only two variables to represent three categories'. It currently states '... three variable to represent three categories...'

2. Page 58(Regression Uncertainty), paragraph 2. I think figure number or description is incorrect. Book currently refers to figure 2.9 and describes estimates about broadband data. But fig 2.9 is about OJ data and spam data.

3. Page 166, paragraph 5. Book reads, "... what makes Equation 105 structural...". There is no equation 105. I think it is 6.2
