I want to use the Pareto distribution for a prior, but it does not behave as I expect. Is it a bug? The Pareto distribution takes two parameters (alpha, m). m is a lower limit and the Pareto is zero below that value. https://docs.pymc.io/api/distributions/continuous.html#pymc3.distributions.continu…

I think there is some gradient problem at the MAP which causing a problem of convergence. Specifically, the default transformation is log, which might not be appropriate, it might work better with the default transformation as lower bound: import pymc3 as pm import pymc3.distributions.transforms a…
