Hi! When I summarize the statistics of my inference data using az.summary(), one of the columns of the dataframe is hdi_3%. A highest density interval is supposed to be a range of two values, but in the summarized data each entry of this column is one specific value. What does this value mean? I a…

When requesting the 94% HDI (arviz’s current default), there should be 2 columns, one representing the left end of the interval (the value below which 3% of the posterior falls) and one representing the right end of the interval (the value above which 3% of the posterior falls). So hdi_3% is the fo…
