Hello I have been reading the dimensionality tutorial and I am trying to use dimensions to access the prior array values in a dictionary-like maner. For example, if I need to define priors for the abundance of chemical elements I would have something like this: abund_dict = {‘oxygen’: pm.Normal(‘…

You need to distinguish between “dims” and “labels”. “dims” are sets, and “labels” are set elements. In your case, the dim is “element” and the labels are (‘oxygen’, ‘nitrogen’, ‘sulfur’, ‘argon’) So you define your model like: coords = {'element':[‘oxygen’, ‘nitrogen’, ‘sulfur’, ‘argon’]} with pm…
