I am trying to write the neurobiological model of this study with PyMC. In the original formulation some priors and hyperpriors of the model were defined as Half-Cauchy(0,2), but the model was then developed by the researchers using rjags (here is the JAGS model ), and since in JAGS there are no Half…
