Hi all! I was wondering if it’s possible to include a conditional statement within a pymc3 model. Let’s say I’m building a model based on 3 coefficients, that looks like the following: with pm.Model as model: x = pm.Data("x", x_obs, dims="obs_id") a = pm.Normal("a", mu=0.0, sigma=1.0) …

Can’t you just multiply with the boolean (x-c>0)? Otherwise tt.switch() might also work for you.

You might be looking for aesara’s ifelse() function.
