This is an amazingly complete answer, thank you so much!

I was actually trying to implement this as an intermediate step of a more complex model that involved successively taking the maximum of a series of random variables, so (from what I understood from your answer) this solution doesn’t quite work out for me.

I have opened a [new topic with more context](https://discourse.pymc.io/t/modelling-a-timeseries-of-cumulative-maximum/7829), if you find the time to look at that I would really appreciate it!
