I have a model in PyMC v5.18, fit to some observations. I simulated posterior values in a somewhat different model (with much overlap to the original model of course), using pm.sample_posterior_predictive(), predicting distributions as traces for several RVs. Now I would like to measure the log like…

Wups! I asked the same question four years ago.
