Hello! I am trying to do a simple multivariate regression using bayesian modeling. I am using real data from a CSV table. I am able to set up the model and sample from posterior, but I am confused with how to actually generate new predictions from new Xi data. My training data have one Y (output) …

You can use set_data() to swap out the data you used for inference for something new (e.g., out-of-sample test data) before running sample_posterior_predictive. That will allow you to use your estimated model parameters to generate predictions about your outcome (i.e., Y in your case) in a new scen…
