Hello! I am new to bayesian statistics and currently following a book called “Bayesian Analysis for the Social Sciences”. In chapter 7 a hierarchical model is used in the example 7.6 to conduct one-way ANOVA. In the book the following code is presented [image] I’ve built the same model (I guess)…

I think Simon is right that the problem is the variance parameter. iirc BUGS/JAGS always parameterizes Normal distributions with the precision (tau), rather than the standard deviation (sigma). This is also available in PyMC. You can do this instead: alphas=pm.Normal('alphas',mu=mu, tau=tau[1]*…
