I am trying to create an observed variable in PyMC3 which has a multivariate normal distribution. I want the covariance matrix whose elements are other random variables. As an example, consider the following code: import pymc3 as pm with pm.Model() as model: a = pm.Normal('a', mu=0, sigma=10) …

You can use import theano.tensor as tt tt.concatenate([a, b, b, c]).reshape((2, 2)) Or alternatively tt.stack. If you want priors on covariance matrices, you probably want to look into pm.LKJCholeskyCov instead.

Hi,
Yeah it’s a classical and harmless warning. Usually we just get rid of it with:

import warnings
warnings.simplefilter(action="ignore", category=FutureWarning)
