Then, on "if I change 'testfunc' into:", you get that error because of the way pymc3 is trying to work with theano functions. PyMC3's variational API supports a number of cutting edge algorithms, as well as minibatch for scaling to large datasets. Theano will stop being actively maintained in 1 year, and no future features in the mean time.
On "added on april 9, 2017:", the first code will not work because the output of test.testfunc(t,y,z) is a theano function itself.

For simplicity, my case is summarised below with a simple example. Just choose whatever feels comfortable for your programming style.
I came across this perf issue while working on a larger model, and isolated it to the example below. August 28, 2019 . But since you are not using Pyro I believe your intuition about low acceptance rate was correct.

Of course then there is the mad men (old professors who are becoming irrelevant) who actually do their own Gibbs … What's the best in your opinion? Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub
Thanks so much for the help everyone!
Pyro is promising since Uber chief scientist Ghahramani is a true pioneer in the Probabilistic Programming space and his lab is behind the “turing.jl” project. I'm having a hard time getting exactly the same model because in PyMC3 I use an LKJPrior to specify the full covariance matrix while in pyro I hacked up a low rank solution like so:This is closed because the comparison is not fair for both frameworks (different models). In reality, my constraint is that everything is made through a GUI and actions like ‘find_MAP’ … ***> wrote:

I have the feeling pymc3 shows a huge change of spirit, compared to pymc2, that I didn't get and is poorly documented... a pre-alpha branch.On Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 10:57 AM Neeraj Pradhan ***@***.

Do you mind posting What are your thoughts regarding Pyro vs. Edward vs. PyMC3 vs. other packages? save hide report.
Edward in my opinion was very promising project driven by D. Blei who is also a pioneer in the space but now that the person leading the project joined google that might ultimately merge with TF probability. Just choose whatever feels comfortable for your programming style. Unfortunately, I cannot share that particular dataset - I'm really sorry. opaque output, and using that to pull out the required parameters.
