Thank you very much for the very nice presentation. I am very happy your extensions will be available as pymc keeps evolving.
I would like to emphasize what @dfm mentioned during his presentation: In many scientific projects, the theoretical model must handle external data grids before it can be evaluated against the observations (see exoplanet interpolator). The “PyMC3 and Theano” documentation starts describing that: “for the most part you don’t need detailed knowledge [of theano]” but in these cases, you do and it is hard without both high programming and statistics expertise. This is true even in popular libraries with many examples.
I hope that for the next PyMCon, we can be all together discussing face to face
