Hi, I am trying to make a scenario where three uniformly distributed parameters need to be constrained. p1 = pm.Uniform(‘p1’,lower = 0, upper = 1) p2 = pm.Uniform(‘p2’,lower = 0, upper = 1) p3 = pm.Uniform(‘p3’,lower = 0, upper = 1) I want the constraint to be p1+p2+p3 = 1. How can I do it? p …

Adding constraint to the parameter

Any value would have worked BTW, it’s just that 1 is neat.

Say that the correct solution of p is [.3,.2,.5], if you fix the last value to 1, the other values can only be [.6, .4]
