Is it possible to use WAIC to calculate log predictive accuracy of pymc3 models? For a linear regression model, I defined both X and Y as shared variables. Then once the model is trained using the train dataset, changed the value of the shared_X and shared_Y with test datasets.Then calculate the WA…

Sure, WAIC is one way to estimate the expected log point-wise predictive density, which in turn asymptotically equal to LOO. Just keep in mind that predictive accuracy is in principle impossible to calculate, thus the usual quantification of predictive accuracy we have (psis-LOO, WAIC, DIC and AIC)…
