I opened a ticket about this here: https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/issues/4002

There are a number of issues all tangled together here, including:

  1. The use of cython and extra packages means that this notebook does not build in our environment.
  2. The use of cython means that this notebook is machine architecture and linux (and distro?) specific, and there’s been no attempt to make it portable.
  3. The use of random variables rather than (at least temporarily) constant values for “observations” is questionable.
