@ricardoV94 Thanks a ton! This looks promising. For record, I have opened a new post here with explanation of my problem: [Problem with dynamically generating random variables in a Compound Poisson model](https://discourse.pymc.io/t/problem-with-dynamically-generating-random-variables-in-a-compound-poisson-model/11397)
