I have a forward simulation function forward_model that gives some parameters of type ndarray input and returns a result of type ndarray. I want to estimate the parameter epsilon_r given the synthetic data. Below is my script, but I don’t know how to include the function in MCMC model part. The prob…

So ideally you would rewrite it with PyTensor operators so that you can get gradients for free and use NUTS for sampling (and possibly higher performance). Mostly you can replace np.foo(a, b) by pytensor.tensor.foo(a, b), with special handling for conditionals/ loops and variable assignment: Tutori…

Yes, you can define an Op to just wrap your forward function, not just a likelihood
