Hello, I want to initialize the mass matrix of the NUTS sampler with a covariance matrix calculated from the posterior samples of an MCMC chain that has converged. My small example is: import pandas as pd import numpy as np import pymc3 as pm #### Generate data np.random.seed(123) alpha, sigma = …

I assume this corresponds to the order in the list trace.varnames?
