Hello! I am trying to fit a transit model to some data with a blackbox likelihood function with gaussian priors on the period. But when I run pymc with the priors the mcmc fails. When debugging it looks like the mcmc is exploring values way outside the standard deviation of the normal distribution …

Welcome!

Can we see the plots that look suspect?
