I am having a hard time interpreting the results of find_MAP(). These should maximize the value of the log likelihood (In my case, it is custom) So I plugged the results in the function, I am getting a different logp value. What does that mean? from pymc3 import Model from pymc3 import Metropolis…

Unconsistent logp, Evaluating the results of find_MAP on Custom Likelihood

Yes, and sometimes it can fail to find the global maximum.
