I have a vector of model parameters which I am currently using in a deterministic fashion within my pymc3 model likelihood function (just a 1d numpy array, not a pymc3 RV) - a single point estimate of the parameters. These parameters come from a separate model (on paper) and the model has a known va…

But var_of_x is not inferred in your model, it’s a fixed hyperparameter.
