#'
#' To get Started:
#'   \enumerate{
#'     \item Collect data on product prices, shares, margins and diversions
#'     (optional).
#'     \item Specify how firms interact strategically (e.g. Bertrand, Cournot, Auction)
#'     \item If you have data on many/all products in the market consider
#'     calibrating a demand system and simulating a merger with either
#'     a \code{\link{bertrand.alm}},\code{\link{cournot}}, or \code{\link{auction2nd.logit}}.
#'     \item If you only have data on the merging parties' products, consider
#'     using \code{\link{cmcr.bertrand}} or \code{\link{cmcr.cournot}} to
#'     uncover the marginal cost reductions needed to offset a post-merger increase.
