I am trying to model data which comes in the form of “two cones”. You can imagine this as two cones of different negative slopes and heights positioned on a x,y grid and at every x,y the observed value is the maximum between two cones + some noise (so kind of like maximum of two mountains over a gri…

There is a transformation, pm.distributions.transforms.univariate_ordered that I think is what you are looking for. You could use it as follows: with pm.Model() as m: x0 = pm.Uniform("x0", -7, 7, size=(1,)) offsets = pm.Uniform("offsets", 0, 12, size=(ncones-1,), …

Got it thanks, works also very well like this. And thanks for the tip on the Dirichlet
