Hi!
I have a model with 8 parameters and I can use this model to generate 5 distribution function. With 5 distribution function from data, I want to use pymc to constrain these 8 parameters. But this model is a little complicated because it includes matrix multiplication. And I faced some problems. Here is what I tried:
Firstly I draw prior for 8 parameters from uniform distribution.
x = pm.Uniform(“x”, lower=range[0], upper=range[1], shape=(1, 8))
Then I need to do some matrix multiplication
matrix1=pm.math.dot(x, Y1)+Y2
where the shape for Y1 is (8,17), for Y2 is (1,17) and Y1, Y2 are numpy array.
I successfully done this and get a pytensor variable and its shape is (1,17)
Next I need to split matrix1 into two variables and their shapes are (1,2),(1,4),(1,4),(1,5),(1,2).
It seems like I cannot use method in numpy like matrix1[:2], matrix1[2:6], matrix1[6:10], matrix1[10:15], matrix1[15:17].
By using these 5 matrix, I can do another matrix multiplication independently and this time will give me 5 distribution function.
Recall that I have 5 distribution function from data. Now I need to define likelihood. I don’t think I should use pm.Normal(). In fact I want to define it as sum(-(Y_Data-Y)^2/Y_Data^2). But I don’t know what should I do. Maybe I need to use pm.Deterministic().
I appreciate if any one could help me
