I recently asked a question about how to condition a normally distributed variable on bernoulli parents. After looking at the code, and after some discussion, I understood what was going on. In my setting, the dependent variable either takes the form of a particular distribution given the parents, …

Hey, I think I’ve made a lot of progress on my problem. Do you have any examples, you can point me to about inferring the mixture weights? Do you mean doing something like this: #Mixture weights pOns = pymc3.Dirichlet('pOns', numpy.array(on_alphas)) on = pymc3.Categorical('on' pOns) But for the …
